Get the evidence right before you submit
Whether you're applying for the first time, renewing or stuck on an assessor query, we help you get CHAS accreditation with evidence that stands up.
Public sector bodies are now expected to use the Common Assessment Standard to prequalify suppliers for construction works contracts, as set out in Procurement Policy Note 03/24. CHAS Elite provides assessment against the Common Assessment Standard. Always check the specific tender requirement.

INDEPENDENT SUPPORT
How we're different from CHAS's own support
CHAS provides assessment services and information about its requirements. Morgan Compliance Group is an independent consultancy supporting businesses with the practical work needed to prepare and demonstrate their arrangements.
CHAS assessment and scheme support
CHAS explains its assessment requirements, reviews submitted evidence and makes the accreditation decision through its own processes.
MCG independent consultancy
We tailor documents to your actual work, can visit site where appropriate and focus on records that prove arrangements are implemented, rather than supplying generic templates alone.
We begin by confirming why CHAS is required, the membership package requested and any applicable deadline. We then review existing health and safety arrangements, insurance information, competence records and operational evidence against the relevant requirements. Gaps are explained clearly and any agreed documents are prepared to reflect how the business genuinely operates, rather than being created solely for upload.
Our consultancy supports, but does not replace, your legal duties. CHAS makes accreditation decisions independently. Read our Terms of Service.

Frequently asked questions
Which CHAS membership package do we need?
CHAS currently offers Standard, Advanced and Elite packages. The appropriate package depends on the requirements of your customer, tender or supply chain. We can help you review the stated requirement, but the final membership choice and acceptance criteria remain with CHAS and the organisation requesting it.
Is CHAS the same as SSIP?
CHAS is a member of Safety Schemes in Procurement. CHAS Standard includes a health and safety assessment and SSIP verification, while the Advanced and Elite packages cover additional areas of prequalification and supply-chain compliance.
What evidence is normally required for a CHAS application?
The evidence depends on the selected package, business size, work activities and applicable duties. It may include health and safety policies and arrangements, risk assessments, training and competence records, insurance information, performance records and examples showing that the arrangements are used in practice.
Can you help with CHAS renewals or upgrades?
Yes. We can review what has changed since the previous assessment, identify expired or missing evidence and help prepare for a renewal or move to a different CHAS package.
Can you help if an assessor has requested more information?
Yes. We can review the assessor’s comments, identify what is outstanding and help prepare clear supporting evidence or corrective actions within the agreed scope.
Can you guarantee approval or confirm how long the process will take?
No. Veriforce CHAS makes the assessment decision and controls its assessment timescales. The preparation time depends on the selected package, deadline and condition of the existing evidence. We will explain the likely consultancy scope and timetable after the initial review.
Do you guarantee CHAS accreditation?
No. The decision is CHAS's. We make sure your documents and evidence are as strong as they can be before you submit.
Which CHAS level do I need?
It's usually set by the client or tender asking for it. Check their requirements; we can help you interpret them.
Do ISO certificates help?
Yes. ISO 45001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and an existing SSIP certificate can exempt you from some questions, subject to the certificate's scope and validity.
