Describe the claim, not the service.

Describe the claim, not the service.

We begin with a pre-engagement review before any quotation. The purpose is that we know — and that you know — whether the request is inside our scope at all.

This is controlled form F09-01 in full. Only the six fields marked Required have to be answered for the pre-engagement review to open — everything else can be left blank now and completed once the engagement is accepted. Nothing you leave empty delays the reply.

I confirm the information given is accurate and consent to its processing for the purpose of a pre-engagement review, under the privacy policy. Submission creates no obligation on either party.

Supporting evidence

Attach supporting documents Accepted: PDF, Excel, CSV, Word, ZIP, images. Maximum 25 MB per file. Do not attach personal data the request does not require.

A file exceeds the permitted size.

Do not upload confidential documents through this form. We will send a secure route once the review is opened.

What happens after you send it

We reply within the period published and approved in the management system, with one of three answers:

Inside the scope — we send the scope of work and the information required next.
Outside the scope — we say so, and where we can, we say where it should go instead.
Needs clarification — we ask two specific questions, not a questionnaire.

Submitting this form creates no obligation on either party. It is a review of whether an engagement can be accepted responsibly — not an acceptance.

Complaints and appeals do not go through this form. Use the complaints route or the appeals route, which are handled under separate controlled workflows.
