Capita plc
(‘Capita’ or the ‘Group’) announces today it has been re-selected
by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to continue to manage the
Gas Safe Register, in a renewed contract worth £89 million which
will run from April 2025 to
December 2029.
The Gas
Safe Register is the official list of gas businesses across the UK
who are registered to work safely and legally on boilers, cookers,
fires and all other gas appliances.
Capita has
been successfully delivering the Gas Safe Register since 2009,
which has grown from 35,000 to 80,000 businesses (more than 150,000
engineers) today, conducting over 55,000 competence checks,
answering over 200,000 calls from engineers and the public, and
receiving over 3.5 million unique website visitors in the 2023/24
contract year.
Capita is
also responsible for promoting awareness of the register and
general gas safety awareness to consumers across the UK.
HSE
awarded the contract to Capita following a competitive tender
process. As part of the new contract, Capita will ensure that new
digital technology is embedded throughout processes to enable more
effective and efficient delivery of the concession, and to improve
the way consumers and engineers engage with the service.
Over the
past 15 years Capita has developed the Gas Safe Register brand to
build trust and has undertaken significant public gas safety
awareness campaigns, including
Gas Safety Week each
September.
Adolfo Hernandez, Chief
Executive Officer, Capita, said: "We are proud of our track record
operating the Gas Safe Register, a critical service which helps
keep people safe every day. This renewal is testament to the key
role Capita plays as a strategic partner to government, using
people, technology and processes to transform public sector
services and improve citizen experiences.”
