NHSS Sector Schemes

There are several advantages to getting registered under NHSS if your business has previously worked with Highways England, or you plan to tender for future work:

• a competitive edge – if you are already NHSS registered when tendering for work, you may have an advantage over competitors who are not registered.
• enhanced business credentials – through independent verification of your processes against recognised quality standards.
• a better understanding of risk, and how to manage it – the NHSS assessment process can help you pinpoint areas of risk in your operations.
• new opportunities – if you currently work only on non-national road networks, NHSS registration clears the way toward you taking on contracts for the national road network.
• greater visibility to contracting bodies – you can join the online Schedule of Suppliers, the only comprehensive national register of independently approved contractors and subcontractors.
• access to expertise and support – some trade associations will only accept new members who are NHSS registered.
