Quick Overview
For each vendor, record the legal name, service category, certificate source, policy types shown, effective and expiry dates, reviewer, and original file location. A certificate is evidence to review, not independent proof that every contractual requirement is satisfied.
Common Mistakes
Set review windows far enough ahead for clarification and replacement documents. Route uncertain coverage, endorsements, or legal requirements to a qualified insurance or legal professional. Operations staff should never infer coverage from a filename or an old approval.
Common Questions Answered
Define whether an expired, missing, or under-review record blocks new work and who can authorize an exception. Make that status visible to schedulers. Every exception should state its scope, approver, reason, start, and expiry.
Ready to
Monthly, sample active vendors against recent work orders and the source documents. Look for stale dates, unmatched legal names, approvals with no expiry, and vendors dispatched while restricted.
