A contractor's industrial risk is not an HR problem. It is a risk to your schedule. The Critical Path Screen checks your shortlisted tenderers before you award. It looks at the award or agreement they've named, their licensing, whether they can actually recruit and mobilise the crew they've promised and the subcontract chain the declaration hides. You send the returned tender. Within three business days per contractor you get a one-page verdict, written to drop straight into your evaluation record.
The result and the findings up front, each gap carrying a recommendation. An evidence appendix behind them showing what was checked and against which source. Written to sit in your evaluation record as it is, not to be reworked.
Recent industrial decisions that change how you award contracts, hire and pay. Each explained plainly, with the one thing to check on your side. Issue 01 covers the BHP same job same pay ruling, the Victorian labour hire licensing penalties and the Woolworths salaried pay decision.
