Contractor management

We are able to provide clients with a contractor management service, delivering oversight of quality and compliance levels, as well as value for money. We are able to do this because we have in-house experts in all fields of technical compliance who know what should and should not be done, and at what cost.

Effectively, we are able to sit between our clients and their compliance contractors, validating and approving, querying or rejecting works and their associated fees. The aim is to ensure compliance at reasonable and sensible cost.

Clear is able to offer a full suite of services so that clients fully meet all their compliance responsibilities. Working as a seamless extension to the in-house team Clear provides informed guidance through the whole process, ensuring all the relevant actions are completed on time and to the required professional standard.

We source the appropriate contractors to deliver compliance related services, overseeing works to make sure they are carried out in line with the relevant compliance standards / best industry practice - and at a sensible cost. In addition, Clear can monitor any recommendations that are identified via inspections, assessments or maintenance programmes and activate any required follow-up actions. Finally, Clear will evaluate performance applying technical assessments and evidential oversight.

Clear can act on behalf of the client to monitor contactors whose services are retained, to ascertain that:

• Prior to engagement, contractors are evaluated on competence, financial stability, ethical practices, trading history and previous results
• Cost control measures are in place – delivery of clear specifications, benchmarking, adherence to contract, analysis of KPIs
• Expenditure is scrutinised via cost audits, validation of payments, contractual enforcement

We act independently and impartially, as the gate keeper to a client’s funds. We always work with the clients’ best interests at heart, regularly making substantial savings to benefit the overall budget.
