IF anyone is interested.
- Capita has been re-selected by the Health and Safety Executive to continue managing the Gas Safe Register.
The renewed contract, which is worth £93m over a five-year term, will begin on 1 April. Capita will be responsible for checking the competence of engineers through a team of gas safety inspectors, promoting awareness of the register, and general gas safety awareness to consumers across the UK.
The outsourcer said that since it began delivering this service in 2009, around 40% more businesses are registered.
HSE renewed the contract with Capita following a competitive tender process. As part of the new contract, Capita will deliver a new digital platform, providing an electronic register, enhanced contact centre, website and mobile application. It will also increase inspections of gas installations and drive broader consumer awareness about gas safety.
HSE's director of regulation, Philip White, said: "The bid from Capita/CGRAS was the strongest on cost and quality and we are confident they will continue to raise the standards of gas safety and provide a gas safe home for everyone."
Capita chief executive Jon Lewis said: "We are delighted to continue operating the Gas Safe Register as the Health and Safety Executive's partner of choice. This new contract is an example of our expertise in harnessing digital technologies to deliver critical and specialist public services and reflects Capita's important role as a strategic partner to government, delivering tangible benefits for the public sector."
