NAS Certification for
Local Authority Contractors
Independent, evidence-based compliance certification for contractors working on council housing, highways, public estates, and local government projects.
Demonstrate compliance to council procurement teams, framework managers, and local authority supply chain leads — with a live certification profile, not a static PDF.
Why It Matters
Local Authority Procurement Demands Verified Compliance
Councils and public sector procurement teams operate under Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and must ensure their supply chains demonstrate compliance before awarding contracts. Self-declaration alone isn't sufficient for scrutiny.
NAS certification gives council procurement teams independently assessed, publicly verifiable evidence — covering the Modern Slavery Act, Environmental Protection Act, and Public Contracts Regulations that local authority work demands.
