Define what a suitable provider must deliver
ACS starts with the requirement, location, timeline, budget range and acceptance criteria. These establish a consistent basis for identifying plausible providers and assessing their fit for the assignment.
Compare options using evidence
Shortlisted providers undergo the agreed verification checks. Their capabilities, evidence, risks and unresolved questions are compared so that the client can make the appointment decision. Typical assignments include professional services, technology, marketing, procurement and selected facilities or property-improvement work.
Maintain independence
Any commercial relationship, referral arrangement or other interest involving a provider is disclosed. Providers introduced by ACS and those introduced by the client are assessed using the same agreed verification standard.
