at each level in a hierarchy of contracting and subcontracting
Explanation:
They are using tier in the sense of level, or rung of a hierarchy -- where company A has the contract but company A subcontracts to B who may subcontract to C.

So even though only A has the signed contract, subcontractor at any tier down the chain are still held to the contract.

This also may help:

Cartus expects each level of subcontractor to participate in our program. We expect our first-tier subcontractors (brokers, appraisers, inspectors, and closing agents) to be active in seeking out and utilizing second-tier subcontractors and report that utilization to Cartus on a regular basis. Any independent contractor qualifies (which, in the case of real estate broker firms, generally includes individual agents who operate as independent contractors).
