Hi All
I have recieved an email from one of the holiday parks that I do repairs for asking that all contractors/suppliers etc get “
[FONT=times new roman]health and safety prequalification of our contractor/suppliers by SafeContractor”.
https://www.safecontractor.com/en-gb/Does anyone here use or have experiance with SafeContractor?
As a sole trader it seems like an expensive waste of time/money creating paperwork that has little to no relevance to me.Thank you

well at over £400 you would have to get enough work to justify the out lay and you would need to up your charges. if you get 40 jobs per year you would have to add £10 a call just to break even
if it was me I would tell them to get someone else but thats me. if your skills are in short supply you wont lose much and they still may use you
have had to make health and safety statements but would never pay for a course

I agree with Dave, to which you need to add loss of productive time which must add a few more £100s in lost revenue. Does their contract with SafeContractor provide some sort of financial kick back to the holiday park from your participation I wonder?
Paying a customer up front for just the possibility of future work always seems a risky strategy. My guess is if you decline, if they need your services, they will still call you, unless they already have a panel of appliance repairers to chose from.
