The Accreditation Desk
Accreditation and compliance paperwork for UK contractors

You do the work. We do the paperwork.

CHAS, Constructionline Gold, SafeContractor, SMAS and the Common Assessment Standard, written and submitted for you at a fixed price. Plus the compliance documents main contractors and auditors now ask for on top.

Fixed prices, quoted before we start We fill in the portal, not just the documents Rejections fixed free until you pass
Two things we do

Get accredited, then stay accredited

Most contractors come to us for one scheme and stay for the documents. The two sides of the business work together, because the documents are what the schemes and the audits are actually asking for.

Track one

Accreditation applications

We write the submission, build the evidence and complete the portal on your behalf, then handle anything the assessor sends back.

  • Constructionline Bronze, Silver and Gold, including the Common Assessment Standard route
  • CHAS Standard, Advanced and Elite
  • SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe, Acclaim, Altius, Avetta and the rest of the SSIP family
  • Main contractor PQQs and one-off supply chain questionnaires
  • Annual renewals so nothing lapses while you are on site
Track two

Compliance documents

The policies, registers and risk assessments that auditors, insurers and main contractors ask for. Written for your business, not downloaded off a template site.

  • Health and safety policy, arrangements, risk assessments and method statements
  • Corporate criminal offence policy and risk assessment for tax evasion facilitation
  • Labour supply chain due diligence, right to work and CIS verification
  • Data protection ROPA, DPIA, retention schedule and breach procedure
  • Selection questionnaires and PQQs completed and submitted for you
  • Audit responses when a client audit comes back referred or failed

The problem

It is not hard. It is just long.

A Constructionline Gold submission runs to forty or more separate requirements. Each one wants a document, a date, a signature and a policy that says the right thing. Miss one and the whole application sits in Action Required while the job you needed it for goes to someone else.

The evenings disappear

Contractors tell us the same thing every time: three or four evenings lost, then a rejection on a technicality nobody explained.

The templates do not pass

Generic downloads get rejected because they are generic. Assessors want your trades, your sites, your numbers and your named people.

The goalposts moved

Corporate criminal offence, right to work, worker protection, Building Safety Act competence. The list grew and nobody sent a letter.

Recent work

Two jobs from September 2026, described without the client’s name because we do not publish who we work for unless they ask us to.

Constructionline Gold, steel fixing contractor

A 24 man reinforcement contractor working on HS2. Twenty documents written from scratch, the portal completed, the evidence uploaded and the application submitted twelve days after their first email. Work categories, insurance gates and assessor feedback handled by us, inside the portal, on their account.

Failed supply chain audit, closed out

The same contractor was referred by a main contractor’s auditor. Twenty one documents and eighty six pages, written against the auditor’s exact wording and delivered the day after the quote was accepted, with a closeout matrix mapping every finding to the document that answers it.

Written and run by Hamza Waqas, sole director of TAD Compliance Ltd. You deal with one person from the first email to the pass, not a ticket queue.

Accreditation pricing

Fixed price. Quoted before we start.

No hourly rates, no retainers, no surprise invoice at the end. If the assessor sends it back, we fix it and resubmit at no extra cost until you pass. Every price on this page is the price you pay: TAD Compliance Ltd is not VAT registered, so there is no VAT to add.

Additional scheme, same application

+£249

Adding CHAS at the same time as Constructionline, or SMAS alongside SafeContractor. Most of the evidence is shared, so the second scheme costs a fraction of the first.

Carbon Reduction Plan

+£199

PPN 006 compliant, with your scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions calculated, a baseline year and a net zero commitment. Required for most public sector work over £5m and increasingly asked for below it.

Prices exclude the scheme's own registration or membership fee, which you pay directly to CHAS, Constructionline or the relevant body. We will tell you what that is before you commit.

Compliance documents

The documents your clients are asking for now

Every one of these is written for your business: your trades, your headcount, your sites, your named responsible person. Supplied as editable Word files and signed PDFs. Buy them individually or as a pack.

Deadline 30 October

Worker Protection Pack

£395

Sexual harassment prevention policy, the risk assessment that evidences "all reasonable steps", a third party harassment procedure for site and client premises, reporting and investigation route, toolbox talk and a training register. What changes on 30 October.

Duty in force 30 October 2026. Compensation uplift of up to 25 percent where breached.
Duty widens 1 October

Labour Supply Chain Pack

£595

Right to work policy and check procedure, subcontract clause wording, substitution procedure, site identity check procedure, subcontractor and agency due diligence questionnaire, CIS verification record, modern slavery statement and policy, labour provider approval register and an audit trail template. What changes on 1 October.

From 1 October 2026 right to work duties extend to individual subcontractors and workers on contracts. Civil penalties are £45,000 per worker for a first breach and £60,000 for a repeat.

Corporate Criminal Offence Pack

£395

Anti facilitation of tax evasion policy, the CCO risk assessment HMRC expects, reasonable prevention procedures, supplier and subcontractor clauses, staff briefing note and a review log.

Constructionline Gold and the Common Assessment Standard both ask whether you have CCO procedures. Most contractors answer yes with nothing behind it.

Data Protection Pack

£495

Record of processing activities, privacy notices for staff and clients, data protection impact assessment, retention schedule, subject access request procedure and a personal data breach procedure with the 72 hour log.

If you hold site personnel records, CCTV or biometric clocking in, the ICO expects a ROPA. Assessors are starting to ask to see it.

Business Continuity Pack

£395

Business continuity plan, business impact analysis, incident response and escalation plan, critical supplier list, IT and cyber incident annex, and a test and exercise record.

Asked for on nearly every framework PQQ and most main contractor supply chain questionnaires.

Building Safety Competence Pack

£495

Organisational capability statement against BSI Flex 8670, individual competence matrix, role profiles, training needs analysis, competence assessment records and a declaration for higher risk building work.

Required where you touch higher risk buildings, and increasingly requested by principal contractors regardless of building height.

Environmental and Carbon Pack

£495

Environmental policy and aspects and impacts register, waste management and duty of care procedure, site environmental plan, PPN 006 Carbon Reduction Plan and an environmental legal register.

Covers the environmental section of CHAS Elite and Constructionline Gold in one go.

Quality Management Pack

£595

Quality policy and manual, document control procedure, nonconformance and corrective action process, internal audit schedule and report templates, management review agenda and minutes, and a customer satisfaction procedure.

The groundwork for ISO 9001 without the certification bill, and it answers the quality questions on every PQQ.

Site Operations Pack

£595

Construction phase plan template, site induction pack, permit to work set, toolbox talk library, plant and equipment register, PPE issue records and an accident and near miss reporting system.

What an auditor asks to see on the day. Most failures happen here, not in the policies.

Single document

from £195

One policy, one risk assessment or one register, written for your business. Turned around in two to three working days.

Any three documents

£445

Pick any three from the catalogue. Useful when a client audit has come back with a short action list. If all three sit inside one of the packs above, buy the pack instead. It is £395 for the whole set and it is the better buy every time.

Document maintenance

£249 / year

We review every document you hold with us once a year, update it for changes in law and re-issue it signed and dated, so nothing is ever out of review date when an auditor arrives.

New

PSQs, selection questionnaires and PQQs

The stage before the tender. Public buyers now call it the Procurement Specific Questionnaire, or PSQ, since the Procurement Act replaced the old selection questionnaire in February 2025. Main contractors still call theirs a PQQ. Whatever the name, it comes first and you have to clear it. Get it wrong and the bid you were going to write never gets scored. It asks for almost exactly the documents we already produce, so we complete it for you.

Single PSQ, SQ or PQQ response

£595

One questionnaire completed and submitted on your behalf, including the Central Digital Platform details a public PSQ relies on. Company information, insurances, accounts, health and safety, quality, environmental, equality, modern slavery, data protection and your project references, answered against that buyer's question set.

Turned round in four to five working days from the deadline you give us.
Best value

SQ library and three responses

£1,250

We build a reusable answer library covering every standard selection question, written for your business, then complete your next three questionnaires from it. After that the fourth onwards costs a fraction, because the answers already exist.

The point at which prequalification stops being a week of your life every time.

Project reference statements

from £175

The three contract examples every questionnaire asks for, written up properly with value, duration, scope, client, your role and the outcome, in a form a buyer can score. Supplied as standalone documents you reuse.

The single most common reason a selection questionnaire scores badly.

Where we stop

We do not write the tender itself. Method statements, programme, social value, and anything a panel scores out of ten is a different job and a different skill, and plenty of good bid consultancies do it well. We get you through the eligibility gate. If you need someone for the scored submission after that, ask and we will point you at a firm that does it properly.

When it has already gone wrong

Failed or referred a client audit?

Main contractors increasingly run their own audits on top of SSIP, and they come back with action plans that have to be closed out before you get back on the approved list. We work through the report line by line, write what is missing and give you a response document that answers every finding with a reference to the evidence.

Audit Response: Essential

£895

Every critical and major non conformance closed out. New or rewritten documents for each one, plus a findings response matrix mapping each action to the evidence that answers it, ready to send back to the auditor.

Audit Response: Complete

£1,450

Everything in Essential, plus the minor findings and observations, a corrective action plan with owners and dates, an internal audit procedure so the same findings do not reappear next year, and support through the re-audit.

Full management system build

£1,450 to £2,950

For contractors who need the whole thing at once: an integrated health and safety, quality and environmental management system built around ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001, with the manual, the procedures, the forms and the internal audit programme. Priced on your size and scope after a short call or message.

How it works

Four steps and about twenty minutes of your time

We are set up so that you answer questions once and then get on with your job. No meetings unless you want one.

Tell us what you need

Message us on WhatsApp or email with your trade, your headcount and which scheme or client is asking. We come back with a fixed price the same day.

One short questionnaire

We send a single form covering your company details, insurances, trades and people. Fill it in once and it feeds every document and every scheme.

We write and submit

We draft everything, send it to you to check and sign, then complete the portal application and upload the evidence in the order the assessor expects.

We chase it to a pass

Assessor queries come to us. If anything is rejected we fix it and resubmit at no extra cost. You get the certificate and every file we produced.

What we do not do

We would rather tell you this up front than have you find out after you have paid. If you need any of the below, we will say so and point you to someone who does it.

  • We are not a health and safety consultancy and we do not carry out site inspections or act as your competent person
  • We do not issue certificates or qualifications. We do not sell CSCS cards, IPAF, PASMA or NEBOSH
  • We do not invent evidence. If you have no accident book, no training records and no insurance, we cannot write them into existence
  • We do not give legal, tax or financial advice, and nothing on this site is advice of that kind
  • We are not a UKAS certification body and we cannot certify you to ISO 9001, 14001 or 45001. We build the system, a certification body audits it
  • We cannot guarantee an outcome where your business does not meet a scheme's minimum requirements, but we will tell you before you spend money
FAQs

Questions we get asked most weeks

How long does an application take?

We usually have a full submission ready within five to seven working days of you returning the questionnaire. After that it is down to the scheme. Constructionline typically assesses within five to ten working days, CHAS within a similar window. Renewals are faster because the evidence already exists.

What does Constructionline itself cost?

Constructionline membership is priced by turnover band and by tier, and Gold is quoted rather than listed. The year one figure usually includes a joining fee that does not repeat, so the renewal is lower than the first year. We will get you the current figure for your turnover band before you commit, and it is paid directly to Constructionline, not to us.

Do I have to pay the scheme fee as well as your fee?

Yes. Our fee covers the writing, the evidence and the submission. The scheme's own registration or membership fee is paid by you directly to CHAS, Constructionline, SMAS or whoever the body is. We tell you what it will be in advance so there are no surprises.

What happens if the assessor rejects something?

We fix it and resubmit at no extra cost, as many times as it takes, as long as the information you gave us was accurate. Assessor queries come to us rather than to you. That is the whole point of the Done For You tier.

Do the documents actually get used, or are they just for the portal?

They are written to be used. Every document names your responsible person, references your actual work activities and carries a review date. If an auditor turns up on site and asks how your permit to work system runs, the answer is in the pack rather than in a folder nobody has opened.

We already have policies. Can you just fix the gaps?

Yes, and that is often cheaper. Send us what you have and the list of what the assessor or auditor has asked for. We will tell you what can be kept, what needs rewriting and what is missing, then quote for the gap only.

Do you write tenders as well?

We complete the selection stage questionnaire, whether the buyer calls it a PSQ, an SQ or a PQQ, which is the stage that decides whether you are allowed to bid at all. We do not write the tender itself. Method statements, programme and social value answers are scored by a panel and that is a different job done by bid consultancies. If you need one after we have got you through the gate, ask and we will point you at a firm that does it properly.

Are you affiliated with CHAS or Constructionline?

No. We are an independent business. We are not an assessment body, a certification body or an SSIP member scheme, and we have no arrangement with any of them. We work for you, not for them.

When can I actually get you on the phone?

Weekdays, 8am to 1pm UK time, on 07308 666258. Outside those hours use WhatsApp or email and you will have an answer inside one working day, often sooner. Either way the important parts get confirmed in writing, so nothing is lost between a phone call and a submission.

Who actually writes the documents?

We do, in house. Nothing is outsourced and nothing is a downloaded template with your name dropped into it. Every document is drafted against the scheme's current requirements and your business as it actually operates.

Do you work with accountants, brokers and consultants?

Yes. If you advise contractors and your clients keep getting stuck on prequalification, we run a referral arrangement with a commission on work that completes. Email us and we will send the details.
