UK Employment Law - advice required?

My wife works for a company that has a contract with one of the UK supermarket companies, which requires her to work in one of the supermarket's stores. She is employed solely by the contractor, not the supermarket. One of the supermarket employees, who has no direct supervision or any other working relationship with her, has put in a number of unfounded complaints about my wife's work to the store's management and

The contractors have no problem with my wife's work, she is regularly praised and they have told her that they do not want to lose her.

Unfortunately, things have got so bad that my wife had to walk out of her job yesterday. We have discussed filing a constructive dismissal claim against the supermarket but as she is not employed by them we don't think that they would do anything. My wife has escalated this to the contractor's owners and is awaiting a reply.

My question is - is there any clause in UK law that protects the right of contractors in this case?
