New Verification Service for FM Materials Suppliers

20.07.22

CHAS has launched ‘Verified Supplier’, a compliance verification service which will allow materials suppliers to the UK’s facilities management sector to demonstrate their commitment to operating credibly, safely and ethically.

As supply chains come under increasing scrutiny, FM material suppliers are required increasingly to confirm they are compliant with a growing list of legislation and guidelines covering health and safety, quality assurance, environmental protection and ethical practices, among others.

Easily demonstrate compliance

Becoming a CHAS Verified Supplier is a convenient way to demonstrate compliance across a range of risk management areas via a single verification, reducing duplication of prequalification questionnaires (PQQs) and making it faster and easier to pre-qualify for contracts across the UK.

As well as demonstrating a supplier’s commitment to quality practices and processes, achieving CHAS Verified Supplier helps suppliers highlight compliance with the following laws and regulations:

UK GDPR
Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
Modern Slavery Act 2015
Environment Act 2021
Equality Act 2010

Verified Suppliers also get access to CHAS’s growing bank of exclusive benefits, including discounted training courses, free legal advice and exclusive savings with TradePoint, Speedy Hire, Checkatrade and more.

Streamline supply chain risk management

Specifying CHAS Verified Supplier gives clients confidence that their suppliers operate to a consistently high standard. This helps protect clients from the disruption and reputational harm that can arise from non-compliant supply chains. Clients can find verified materials suppliers quickly and easily alongside verified subcontractors via the free CHAS Client Portal, helping to streamline their supply chain risk management processes.

CHAS Managing Director, Ian McKinnon, comments: “We are delighted to launch the CHAS Verified Supplier service and make it easier for responsible materials suppliers to highlight their credentials to potential customers.

“The launch of CHAS Verified Supplier underlines CHAS’s commitment to simplifying prequalification while raising risk management standards and ensuring that responsible businesses thrive.”

What our customers say about KDE

“Another excellent project for Cheshire Fire Service by KDE. As always, the work has been completed to the highest standard with very limited disruption to the station. Your excellent organisation and customer-focused work ethic shows in everything you do, whether it be a responsive job or project, the service is the same.”

“As maintenance manager, I rely heavily on KDE to attend to all types electrical repairs in a swift and comprehensive manner. From a simple phone call I am assured the work will be carried out efficiently and without fuss, be it for reactive repairs or simply to quote on major or minor works. I immediately receive a confirmation from the KDE office with the time and date when someone will attend our site, which enables us to make arrangements with our staff and gives us peace of mind.”

“I have been working with KDE for over 2 and a half years now and I have never had any issues with them. They have accommodated my needs with both planned and reactive works, bending over backwards to deal with my requests. All our planned maintenance is scheduled with good time, every appointment is booked to suit our customers and I receive an appointment confirmation over email. KDE always communicates well with our customers and provide appropriate documents that are both left on site and sent to myself. The quotations and/or extra works are always detailed and explained well along with a very competitive charge regardless of whether the job is reactive, or planned.”

“We have worked with KDE for many years now and they have always provided a highly professional level of service. KDE Limited carries out fire alarm and emergency lighting servicing and repairs on behalf of Flintshire and we really appreciate the 24/7 reactive call out cover when 99.9% of calls are attended to the same day.”

“KDE is one of our main sub-contractor suppliers. The team is excellent at communicating to our helpdesk and lead officers on projects. Reactive response calls are dealt with effectively and efficiently within our strict key performance indicators with updates and work completions received daily by our helpdesk, which enables us to update our clients. Out of hours responses are also excellent and KDE goes above and beyond to support us.”

“I have worked closely with KDE over the last few years and developed a strong working relationship. The team at KDE always responds quickly and efficiently to any request we make. We receive good feedback and communication from KDE, and they always update us on current job progress.”
