HSE awards contract for gas installer scheme

24 September 2008

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is awarding the contract for the gas installer registration scheme to the Capita Group. The contract, which is valued at £14 million per annum, runs for a term of 10 years and was signed on 8th September 2008. The new scheme will strengthen and improve the governance and performance management arrangements between HSE and the new scheme provider. Other notified bidders have been informed.

Capita will have incentives to continuously improve gas safety and services to gas consumers and installers and be held to account through a challenging set of key performance indicators. Capita will be required to introduce and promote a new independent brand, which will provide an excellent opportunity to promote gas safety messages.

The new gas installer registration scheme will run from the 1st of April 2009 and will replace a scheme currently being operated by Corgi.
