When Outcome Assurance is Required

When Outcome Assurance is Required

Stop Hoping for Success – Guarantee Project Success Every Time

Outcome Assurance certification is increasingly required in high-stakes capital projects where failure is not an option.

Governments, financiers, regulators, and project owners are adopting Outcome Assurance Levels as a prerequisite for participation, performance, and funding. Here’s when certification becomes essential:

For Companies – To qualify as a delivery partner for critical infrastructure or public-private-partnership (P3) projects, companies must meet a minimum Outcome Assurance Level, ensuring governance-driven accountability. This certification is required to bid, unlock tax and climate incentives, and secure milestone payments, reinforcing performance integrity and long-term project success.

For Projects – Outcome Assurance Audits are mandated by project owners to secure funding, de-risk delivery, and meet ESG or regulatory expectations. Certification may be tied to insurance premiums, completion bonuses, or operational licenses.

For Individuals – Certification is required to lead or oversee specific project roles such as Outcome Authority, Delivery Partner, or Operational Readiness Coordinator. Many organizations now mandate Level 2 or higher for leadership appointments.

For Strategic Alignment – Organizations leverage Outcome Assurance Levels to unify internal teams, suppliers, and contractors under a clear, standardized framework, ensuring every contributor is accountable for delivering measurable results.

 

When Results Matter, Outcome Assurance is Non-Negotiable

The definitive benchmark for trust, leadership, and measurable success in infrastructure performance.
