Case Study 01 — Georgetown

Catering contractor saved US$2M oil contract after compliance warning

Before GCRA — 18% complianceAfter GCRA — 96% compliance

BEFORE: High risk AFTER: Fully compliant

A Georgetown catering company providing meals to offshore workers received an ExxonMobil compliance warning after a routine vendor review. Their contract — worth approximately $2 million USD annually — was at immediate risk of suspension. They had been operating for three years with no written policies, no cybersecurity documentation, and no HSE management system.

GCRA conducted a full compliance assessment within 48 hours, identified 11 critical gaps, and within 3 weeks had written all required policies, conducted staff training, and prepared their complete vendor documentation package.

Result: Compliance review passed. $2M contract protected. Company now on monthly monitoring retainer.

Logistics company qualified for ExxonMobil portal after 2 previous rejections

BEFORE: Rejected twice AFTER: Approved

A logistics and transport company had tried to register on the ExxonMobil supplier portal twice in 12 months and been rejected both times.

We fixed every gap, prepared their complete vendor application package, and submitted on their behalf.

Result: Approved on first submission after GCRA engagement. First contract valued at approximately US$800,000 secured within 4 months.
