SafeContractor

What SafeContractor does

SafeContractor Limited is a UK-headquartered supply chain compliance and contractor certification provider, registered in England (Co. Reg. No. 07618138) and operated under the Alcumus Group. It serves two distinct customer segments from its Cardiff base: (a) on-site contractors and off-site suppliers seeking SSIP/PAS 91 / SafeSupplier certification to demonstrate health & safety, ESG and ethical compliance, and (b) hiring-client enterprises that use the platform to vet, monitor and report on their extended supply chain. The platform's core technology is a dynamic, risk-based online assessment engine whose question set adapts to each contractor's business profile and work types, complemented by a Building Safety Act (BSA) module for construction, an ESG assessment layer covering carbon emissions, modern slavery, cyber security and anti-bribery, and real-time compliance dashboards with RAG ratings and audit trails for hiring clients. It is the largest Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) provider to hold UKAS accreditation and a founding member of SSIP, giving it automatic PAS 91 alignment.

The company's commercial model is recurring subscription-based across multiple SKUs: SafeContractor certification tiers priced from £540 to £690 per year for contractors, SafeSupplier verification from £379 per year for off-site suppliers, SafeWorkforce health & safety consultancy from £126 per month, SafeHR consultancy subscriptions, and unit-priced eLearning courses from £19 each (with 20% member discounts). Enterprise hiring-client contracts are bespoke. Distribution runs through direct enterprise field sales with dedicated customer success managers for large clients, inside sales for mid-market and renewals, and self-serve online registration portals for the long-tail contractor and supplier base. Ecosystem partners include TradePoint, Motia, Kingsbridge, ISOQAR, SafeWorkforce, SafeHR, SafeLearning and content partners like Entrac.
