Task and scope
The competence test follows the actual assessment, inspection, examination, maintenance or specialist activity—not a generic service label.
Competence & assurance
Competence must match the discipline and task.
Property compliance covers distinct technical activities. A registration or qualification relevant to one activity does not automatically establish competence for another. The delivery route is therefore considered against the precise scope before appointment.
The assurance test
Four checks before work starts.
The depth of evidence should be proportionate to the risk, technical complexity, legal framework and intended use of the report or record.
Relevant evidence
Where the task calls for a registration, accreditation, scheme scope, qualification or experienced competent person, that evidence should match the work instructed.
Insurance and responsibility
The contractual role, professional boundary and insurance position should be proportionate to the service and output.
Reporting and review
The required record, checking route, limitations, urgent-finding process and document issue method should be agreed before mobilisation.
What we define
A procurement record that can be checked.
The precise evidence varies by discipline. The following control points are intended to make the appointment understandable and auditable.
Instruction
Premises, assets, areas, purpose, exclusions and information relied upon.
Delivery route
Role of Compliance Plus and any service-specific competent or specialist delivery party.
Competence evidence
Relevant person, business, scheme, registration or accreditation evidence where applicable.
Output
The report, certificate, examination record, service record or action summary to be issued.
Limitations
Access, sampling, operational, evidence or scope constraints that affect the conclusion.
Escalation
How urgent findings, incomplete access and further work recommendations are communicated.
