Capita win gas installer status

Capita has been awarded the new gas installer registration scheme.

The contract, which is valued at £14 million per annum, is awarded for a term of ten years.

The new scheme will strengthen and improve the governance and performance management arrangements between HSE and the new scheme provider. 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 also 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.
