Contractor compliance self-assessment

The questions a principal contractor or PQQ assessor will ask about your business.

  1. Can you produce current insurance certificates without searching?
  2. Is there a training matrix showing each role’s required and held tickets with expiry dates?
  3. Are RAMS produced per task from a controlled template, and reviewed before start?
  4. Do you have documented arrangements for the high-risk activities you actually perform?
  5. Can you evidence competence for anyone you send to site — cards, training, experience?
  6. Do you report and investigate incidents, and can you show the last three closed out?
  7. Are your subcontractors (if any) approved and monitored the way clients monitor you?
  8. Do you hold or operate any management system, and does it match what you claim in bids?
  9. Are your public claims (certificates, memberships, standards) current and verifiable?
  10. Could you pass an unannounced document audit of your last completed job?

A competent person must adapt it to your organisation before reliance.
