Contracting Principles

About the Contracting Principles

In a joint effort to promote safe aviation operations, HeliOffshore has worked in partnership with the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (‘IOGP’) and Offshore Energies UK (‘OEUK’) to develop a set of recommended contracting principles. The principles are designed to support sustainable practices across the aviation supply chain, enabling the sector to invest confidently in its people, products, and services and support continuous improvement in safety performance.

The principles were developed based on existing work started by OEUK to describe what good procurement practice looks like in the energy industry supply chain.

By encouraging greater alignment between commercial terms and long-term safety goals for the sector, HeliOffshore’s contracting principles aim to foster resilience, innovation, and high operational standards. This collaborative approach reflects a shared commitment to building a more sustainable and safer future for offshore aviation.
