Centralize Your Documentation Compliance and Manage Sapin 2 Assessments with Ease, Traceability, and Responsiveness

Documentation compliance and Sapin 2 assessments are essential for public contracting authorities managing thousands of supplier relationships. For Société des Grands Projets, the organization behind France’s largest infrastructure projects including the Grand Paris Express, these challenges were amplified by the scale and duration of its operations. Discover how Aprovall helped centralize compliance processes, automate document collection, and streamline Sapin 2 evaluations across a network of 2,900 suppliers.

“What truly makes the difference is the quality of Aprovall’s support: active listening throughout the project, a responsive and skilled support team, and a real consideration of our needs in the roadmap. You can feel a genuine willingness to co-build, with committed teams who understand our operational challenges.”

Challenge

Managing documentation compliance across 2,900 suppliers was a significant operational burden. Document collection was performed at the start of each supplier relationship, but without any structured follow-up or centralization. The tools in place did not allow for automatic reminders or ongoing monitoring.

As a result: insufficient traceability, non-compliant audits, and increased risk during inspections of long-term projects. With contracts spanning years — sometimes decades — the need for continuous, reliable documentation compliance tracking was critical. Meanwhile, Sapin 2 assessments required structured third-party evaluations that the existing processes could not support at scale.

The solution allowed us to structure our processes, eliminate duplicate entries, and centralize all compliance-related documentation. We’ve gained traceability, responsiveness during Sapin 2 assessments, and everyday efficiency. It’s a real shift in our organization’s posture, giving us greater visibility over our third parties.

Solution

To structure its documentation compliance processes, Société des Grands Projets deployed Aprovall to centralize document collection — covering tax certificates, social security attestations, insurance, posted worker declarations, and subcontracting documents.

Aprovall also enabled the integration of Sapin 2 assessments directly into the supplier qualification workflow. The platform was connected to indueD to automate third-party scoring and adapt evaluation criteria to the specific requirements of public contracting authorities.

This connected approach ensured that every supplier in the database is continuously monitored, with automated reminders and a clear audit trail for every document exchange.

Result

Société des Grands Projets now benefits from a streamlined and centralized process through Aprovall, with reinforced monitoring of documentation compliance and Sapin 2 assessments. Reminders are automated, duplicates eliminated, and audits are better anticipated and acknowledged by auditors.

Teams have gained efficiency, traceability, and responsiveness — especially during on-site inspections. The platform provides a single source of truth for all compliance-related documentation, accessible at any time by authorized users across the organization.

By combining automated document collection with integrated Sapin 2 evaluations, Société des Grands Projets has transformed its approach to third-party governance — reducing risk, improving audit readiness, and setting a new standard for documentation compliance in the public contracting sector.
