CHAS for contractors in transportation and distribution

Faster assessment with no PQQ duplication

We’ve simplified the process of achieving and renewing your compliance by fixing the problem of prequalification questionnaire (PQQ) duplication. With CHAS, you no longer have to go through multiple assessment bodies and complete redundant assessments to achieve supply chain compliance. You’ll be saving both time and money by completing all your risk assessments with a single assessment body.

A CHAS assessor will be assigned to you within 24 hours of submitting your application. Fast-tracked applications will be responded to in 48 hours, whilst regular applications will have a 10-day turnover.
