Contract mobilisation checklist

Mobilisation goes wrong in the same places every time: people, data and access. This checklist sets out what should be complete before the first day of service, in the order it is usually needed.

People

  • Staff transfer consultation opened and timetable agreed
  • Screening files reviewed and gaps listed with owners
  • Site inductions booked for every person due to attend
  • Named single point of contact confirmed in writing
  • Escalation route and out-of-hours arrangements agreed

Data and assets

  • Asset verification survey scheduled
  • Plant tagged, photographed and given a frequency
  • Statutory tasks mapped against the relevant reference
  • Existing open works and defects transferred with dates
  • Historic records requested from the outgoing provider

Access and systems

  • Permit, escort and induction requirements documented
  • Keys, fobs and access credentials issued and logged
  • Helpdesk configured with site, priority and contact data
  • Reporting pack format agreed with the client
  • Parallel running period and cut-over date confirmed

This checklist is published as practical guidance. It is not a contractual document, and the arrangements for your own site are confirmed following a site review.
