Under a JCT D&B 2016 can you incorporate a named or nominated sub-contractor for the Main Contractor to manage but the Employer will pay direct.
You would have to look at the Seventh Recital of the Contract Particulars and Schedule 2 - Supplemental Provisions, Part 1, 1 - Named Sub-Contractors.
Regarding direct payment, I believe that could be done via a bespoke provision added to the schedule of amendments.
