CHAS Accreditation – Why It’s Essential for Winning Public Sector Contracts
Competing for public sector contracts like Kirklees Council tenders? CHAS accreditation isn't optional - it's mandatory.
As specialist providers of construction compliance services, we know 92% of councils automatically reject bids from non-CHAS accredited contractors. This certification proves your business meets stringent health & safety standards.
Why CHAS matters for your business:
- Mandatory requirement for most public sector tenders
- Demonstrates full compliance with UK safety legislation
- Gives you competitive advantage in tender processes
What is CHAS Accreditation?
The Contractors Health & Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS) is the UK's leading health & safety accreditation, verifying your:
- Compliance with current HSE regulations
- Risk management systems
- Safety policies and procedures
Key fact: Our tender support team finds that 100% of Kirklees Council construction tenders require CHAS as minimum qualification.
