The only risk with this approach is that it can backfire if there's a problem.
If the garage supply and fit the unit, there's no question that in the event of a problem it is down to them to sort it and there should be no additional cost to you.
If you supply the clutch and the garage fit it, in the event of a problem that isn't unquestionably a fitment issue, you're likely to have to pay the labour element again to have the issue fixed - and given it's a clutch, that's basically the whole job having to be redone and thus the whole labour cost (probably £150-200 or so if it's going through the books) again.
Unless the garage is taking the p**s with the cost for supplying the clutch, given the potential ballache I would get them to supply and fit.
