Approve Contractors Before They Start

Track every license, certificate, permit, and calibration you are responsible for in one live register that flags a renewal before it lapses. These compliance prompts build the operational layer around the credentials your business runs on: what you hold, when it expires, who owns the renewal, and what gets blocked if it slips. Built for operators who would rather find an expiry in a dashboard than in an audit.
Approve Contractors Before They Start

Copy

Contractors start work on our sites before anyone has checked anything. Build me a contractor approval app. Define the approval requirements once, covering insurance with cover levels and expiry, relevant qualifications and accreditations, method statements and risk assessments, references, and any site-specific requirement. Each contractor is assessed against them with evidence attached and each piece carrying its own expiry date. A contractor has a status of Not Approved, Approved, or Approval Expired, and cannot be scheduled onto work unless currently approved, with the check happening at scheduling rather than on arrival. Show me every contractor with their status and anything expiring in the next month. Add an AI agent that reviews a contractor file and lists exactly what is outstanding or expiring, drafts the request for it, and flags where submitted evidence does not actually meet our requirement such as cover below our minimum. Automate three things: a reminder to the contractor before evidence expires, an automatic move to Approval Expired when it does, and an alert if anyone attempts to schedule an unapproved contractor. Two logins: a site manager who schedules and sees status, and a compliance owner who approves.

Approve Contractors Before They Start

Gate contractors on insurance, qualifications, and method statements with dated evidence before work can be scheduled.

// the spark catches · intelligence awakens · the answer unfolds

Contractors turn up and start because nobody checked. This makes approval a gate with a clear list, so the check happens before the work rather than after an incident.

What's Included

  • A defined approval list the same for every contractor.
  • A hard gate before starting not a form filed afterwards.
  • Evidence with expiry dates so approval does not become permanent.
  • An assistant that lists what is outstanding.

How To Use

  1. Make it a gate, not a form. An unenforced check is not a check.
  2. Put expiry dates on the evidence. Approval is not permanent.
  3. Check at the point of scheduling, not at the point of arrival.
  4. Keep the evidence. It is the first thing anyone asks for after an incident.

Check cover with the vendor insurance tracker, and brief them via site inductions.
