“I find Alcumus over priced and very slow with the Audit process so they can try to charge even more money. CHAS took a couple off days and did all the work.”

“I found the members of the accreditation team very helpful especially Tara Staples who assisted in reviewing our submitted information expediently to enable the accreditation procedure to be completed within the required renewal date. Tara also provided feedback to enable the correct information to be provided.”

“The process of submitting compliance evidence is easy and well organised with prompts coming in good time. The only lack of clarity was in reference to the assessor team having further 10 working days after the initial 20 of 'waiting time' to review the documents. After I have raised this with the team, the information I sent was looked into immediately and evidence accepted.”

“There are far too many different accreditation schemes all verifying the same things to the same level of detail but each costing significant money to subscribe to. Despite jumping through all these hoops, Suppliers are still required to complete PQQs and tender documents which is also very time consuming. Suppliers are held to ransom by accreditation organisations as if they choose not to pay for the service, it threatens their client relationships. It is unreasonable that hard working suppliers are forced to subscribe to so many different schemes all verifying the same information. It is a racket.”

Thank you for your review, and congratulations on your SafeContractor accreditation. As part of awarding our UK-leading accreditation annually, our team of expert auditors need to ensure that all contractors have the relevant documentation in place to comply with health and safety legislation. If you have to complete this for multiple clients and find this expensive, we recommend reviewing the SSIP Deem to Satisfy criteria – many accreditation schemes offer significant discounts for their audit process if you have existing accreditation awards with other SSIP members.

“Accreditation always takes too long. It seems to start only when SafeContractor are ready and then the process feels unnecessarily dragged out, with a suspicion that this is to panic the client into throwing some more money at it to speed up the process. Ideally membership should not lapse between accreditation years, as it is Safecontractor that causes most of the delay.”

“Disappointed that the review was conducted so late in the review timeframe. Until I complained my renewal looked like it was only going to be looked at on the very last day of the indicated timeframe. We are existing clients. We are already accredited. We submit an updated application. We expect to be treated promptly not be hustled for more money. It looks and feels like a scam to force existing clients to pay extra. SafeContractor can and should do better.”
