So an inner join only matches if supplierid is present in both searches, and contractId from the subsearch will overwrite the result from the main search.

Try something like this :

(sourcetype="csv-37" NOT "suplierID" NOT "----*") OR ( sourcetype="csv-31" ) 
| stats dc(sourcetype) as types by suplierID,contractID | where types > 1
| table suplierID,contractID

That error should probably read "You're doing it wrong". Post your search. I've never encountered a real world problem where a subsearch is required.
