HSSE-R-012 - HSSE Pre-Qualification of Contractors
HSSE-R-012 - HSSE Pre-Qualification of Contractors
Regulation Title
Topic
Generic HSSE risk assessment for contracted activities and services in the pre-qualification phase of
the procurement process, especially for (but not limited to) high and medium risk activities of
contractors.
Objective
To ensure that competent contractors perform activities for OMV Group and thus manage the HSSE
risks related to contracted activities and services.
Target Group
All OMV Group personnel involved in the pre-qualification of contractors
Scope of Effectiveness
OMV Aktiengesellschaft and all companies which are fully consolidated. In companies not fully
consolidated, where OMV Aktiengesellschaft has a controlling interest. All stock corporations are
excluded with the result that these regulations have to be separately enforced in these entities.
In the interests of simplicity and readability, the language of this statement is gender neutral to the extent possible. Where
applicable, the masculine includes the feminine. Print-out is only valid on the date printed. Check for the latest version in the
Regulations Platform. In case of conflict, the document in its Master Language must be applied.
The purpose of this document is a generic HSSE risk assessment for contracted activities and
services at the current most detailed Procurement Category level 4.
This generic risk assessment does not preclude further risk assessment of these contracted
services (further risk assessment is encouraged for specific activities which potentially carry
higher risk).
For example; suppliers of high voltage electrical equipment are not ranked high, but should
their scope of work expand to include installation and commissioning of such equipment, then
their ranking would increase.
Although diving operations are considered an extremely high risk to personnel, yet they come
out with a medium risk on the matrix. Diving operations shall warrant a specific risk assessment
for the contractors selected to provide this service.
Note: The references made in this document to the risk level of projects or activities (i.e. high,
medium or low risk) are related to the HSSE risk assessment. This ranking is different from the
assessment performed by the Procurement department which uses different criteria to assess
and rank the contractors.
2. Content of Regulation
2.1. Methodology
All businesses will operate an equivalent methodology for assessing Contractors’ HSSE
capabilities. For this purpose, a “Stoplight banding” system was developed. Based on a score
sheet, the Contractor is banded according to the score obtained for each question, as follows:
Green (above 50% of maximum score) denotes unconditional capability to meet OMV
Group’s requirements
Yellow (between 30-50% of maximum score) denotes conditional capability to meet
OMV Group’s requirements; detailed feedback will be provided to Yellow banded
Contractors, with the purpose of closing the gap between the company’s capability and
OMV Group’s standards; Yellow banded Contractors will be required to present an
improvement plan in order to enter the bid stage
Red (below 30% of maximum score) denotes that Contractor capability does not meet
OMV Group’s requirements
It is mandatory that only Green and Yellow banded Contractors are selected to be invited in the
tender stage. However, if for business/ technical purposes, a Red banded Contractor is preferred
by the Contract Holder or Procurement, then the use of such Contractors will have to be
approved by the Tender Board. In addition, a mitigation and improvement plan will be
requested from the Contractor. The Contract Holder will also need to agree with the respective
Contractor what is the appropriate level of additional supervision.
New Contractors
Selected Contractors will be included on Procurement’s Bidder lists and will be invited in the
tender stage. The Procurement Department will also ensure that all qualified potential
Contractors will be kept in the internal database (SAP) for a period of 2 years.
Existing Contractors
For high and medium risk activities, a Pre-qualification process is also envisaged for Contractors
who worked with OMV Group in the past (subject to the above mentioned criteria). Evidence of
their suitability can be derived from historical records, such as KPIs, evaluation/ audit reports,
past pre-qualifications, past working relationship with OMV Group (e.g. commitment and
compliance with HSSE rules).
In case such records are not available and the Contract Holder has no base for making a
documented decision, then the respective Contractors will be asked to respond to the pre-
qualification questionnaire.
The Contract Holder is responsible for pre-qualifying existing Contractors, with specialist
support from Operational/ Field/ Projects HSSE, if the case may be. The Contract Holder will
inform Procurement in order to update the Bidder List accordingly.
Additional aspects:
The Pre-Qualification questionnaire should be filled-in by the Contractor line
management
The Contractor must cover all their activities, including supporting activities
2.2.2. Self-Assessment
The self-assessment section consists of statements which have to be ranked by the Contractor,
on a scale from 0 to 3 (i.e. non/ minimal alignment to full alignment with the statement). Only
one option of the ranking scale is allowed to be selected.
Contractor shall rank their compliance to the statement in this section.
OMV Group requires and encourages its potential Contractors to assess themselves in an
objective and realistic manner.
Contractors should be prepared to back-up and support their assessment, upon request. In case
the Group is not fully satisfied with the self assessment, Contractors will be asked to re-assess
their ranking.
The score assessed by the Contractor will be reviewed by OMV Group. In the event that two
questions or more are considered to be incorrectly assessed, based on the information
provided in the descriptive section, the Group will request the Contractor to re-evaluate its self-
assessment. Clarifications and feedback discussions may take place, if necessary. Should the
Contractor still not provide an objective ranking after the clarifications stage, OMV Group will
consider the entire self-assessment section as null.
Contractor shall NOT rank their compliance to the question in this section.
The following questions will not be scored and are only for informative purposes:
What scope of deliveries and services will the contractor supply to OMV Group?
How many employees does the company have?
What other contracts/activities/projects the Contractor is currently working on?
All other questions included in the descriptive section will be scored as described above.
Contractors are required to provide complete and relevant answers, including all applicable and
important details. Still, answers should be kept as brief as possible, taking into account the
above mentioned requirements.
Contractors should be able to demonstrate and support the provided answers.
