SSIP - CHAS, SafeContractor and Constructionline
Since its launch in 2009 SSIP is already making inroads into reducing the burden of bureaucracy faced by small and medium sized businesses.
Through making information about a supplier's certification available to buyers, this will further eliminate the need for suppliers to subscribe to multiple competence schemes and we start to embrace SSIP's core philosophy of mutual recognition.
