The primary aim of SSIP is to make pre-qualification simpler andreduce occupational health and safety assessment duplication. Holding an Assessment with an SSIP member scheme allows an organisation to demonstrate that they are operating safely and complying with UK and Irish health and safety legislation.
PAS91

PAS 91 is a prequalification questionnaire (PQQ) system comprising a set of standardised question modules on core criteria essential to prequalification for construction tendering.

Developed by the British Standards Institute (BSI), the PAS91 PQQ modules provide a universally applicable system of assessing the capability of suppliers. These question modules allow clients to determine the suitability of potential contractors for projects based on their compliance across several core areas of risk management.
CAS

The Common Assessment Standard [CAS] is an accreditation designed to standardise the prequalification process, helping both clients and contractors improve supply chain efficiency and reduce supply chain risks.

The Common Assessment Standard builds on the PAS 91 prequalification questionnaire, helping contractors achieve compliance and mitigate risks across 10 areas.
