Contractor Management – Performance, HSE & Service Assurance

Course overview

This course develops the knowledge and practical judgement needed to integrate service performance, HSE and operational assurance around organisational priorities. The learning sequence begins with contract scope and hse requirements, then develops the tools and decisions involved in supplier capability and due diligence. Participants connect these foundations with the remaining modules and complete applied work focused on exit and transition assurance.

The programme is intended for cross-functional corporate teams, operational managers, FM/HSE professionals and contractor interfaces. Examples are examined from both the person delivering the work and the person reviewing its adequacy. Participants practise identifying the relevant requirement, gathering evidence, recognising uncertainty and documenting a justified recommendation. The emphasis and level of challenge follow the approved advanced level and the stated duration of 2–3 Days.

Learning combines facilitator explanation, structured questions, case analysis and practical outputs that can be reviewed against the objectives. Corporate groups can use agreed, anonymised procedures and records to make the discussion relevant to their own operations. Exercises distinguish a training recommendation from an authorised workplace decision: local law, client requirements, contracts, engineering standards and manufacturer instructions remain applicable. The closing activity produces a specific improvement or review plan, with responsibilities and evidence requirements that participants can discuss with their own management.

Course curriculum

1. Contract scope and HSE requirements

   Read the actual agreement and its document hierarchy before drawing conclusions about an obligation.

2. Supplier capability and due diligence

   Read the actual agreement and its document hierarchy before drawing conclusions about an obligation.

3. Mobilisation and service baselines

4. Roles and safe-work interfaces

   A permit-to-work system coordinates and authorises specified work under defined conditions.

5. Integrated KPIs and evidence

   A measure is useful when it supports a decision.

6. Inspection and assurance priorities

   Define the criterion before deciding whether a condition is acceptable.

7. Incident, variation and escalation controls

   Protect people and stabilise the situation before beginning investigation.

8. Corrective action and recovery planning

   Business continuity starts with understanding which activities must be maintained or restored following disruption.

9. Performance review workshop

   A measure is useful when it supports a decision.

10. Exit and transition assurance

Practical learning

A company is mobilising an integrated support-services contract for an operating site. Accommodation, catering, maintenance and HSE teams have separate plans with unresolved interfaces. Leaders must agree a common readiness, performance and assurance approach.

Participants examine this fictional case through the course modules, identify missing information and prepare a justified response. Corporate examples can be adapted within the agreed scope.

Assessment approach

Knowledge checks assess understanding, while a practical case output tests application. Review criteria are accuracy, use of evidence, recognition of limitations, clear responsibility and feasibility. The facilitator provides feedback; joining instructions confirm attendance requirements and any formal pass criteria before delivery.

Completion information

An Al-Warkaa professional-development completion certificate may be issued against the confirmed attendance and assessment requirements. This is not a claim of professional licensure, regulatory authorisation or third-party accreditation.
