Frequently Asked Questions about the Schedule of Suppliers

1.     How does my company get registered to a National Highways Sector Scheme (NHSS) to be listed on the Schedule of Suppliers?

Your company will need to be certified and registered under the NHSS, you must pass an assessment carried out by a Certification Body. UKAS accredits Certification Bodies to the Conformity Assessment Standard ISO 17021-1 for the National Highways Sector Schemes and the registration of CV clients on the schedule of suppliers is a requirement of the Schemes Committees (owners) as described in NHSS0 Part 4 and in the individual scheme documents. You will need to download the NHSS Document for the scheme you wish to be registered for and then engage a certification body that is accredited to assess against the requirements of that specific Sector Scheme document. For steps involved in getting certified under one of more National Highway Sector Schemes visit https://www.gov.uk/guidance/national-highway-sector-schemes-certification-for-contractors-and-subcontractors . If you already have an ISO9001 certificate without the NHSS shown it may be possible to gain NHSS certification as an extension. You should discuss this with your Certification Body.

 

2.      Where can I find the National Highway Sector Schemes Documents?

The current versions of each National Highway Sector Scheme Document can be found in the UKAS Publications including Technical Bulletins at https://www.ukas.com

3.     How do I find a Certification Body?

Information on Certification Bodies accredited against NHSS can be found on the UKAS website https://www.ukas.com/search-accredited-organisations/ . Please discuss your requirements with the certification body as they may not be able to accredit all schemes.
