CHAS – Where are we now? John Murphy MBE CHAS Scheme Manager & SSIP Past Chair
Aim of this presentation To brief or update you on: • The benefits CHAS has brought to industry. • The journey so far. • The challenges. • The future for the scheme.
How far have we progressed? • 1997 / 1998 in London • Yorkshire in 2000 • Online 2001 • From 640 suppliers to 44,000 • From 6 buyers to 515. • Initially public sector now both public and private. • From a team of 1 to 15 & 150 assessors • From 20 assessments a month to over 1700!
The savings to Industry CONIAC CDM Evaluation Working Group: comments on CDM 2007 regulatory impact assessment (RIA). “The assumption that the costs of checking competence would reduce over time is very optimistic” Two examples that undermine that statement…
Savings to Suppliers via Deemed to Satisfy Route • Between Oct 2010 & Sept 2011 CHAS processed 2040 deemed to satisfy (DTS) requests • Assuming the average time spent by supplier making a CHAS application is 7 hours • Average cost per hour to supplier is £17.50 • Savings to suppliers using the deemed to satisfy route in the 12 month period to CHAS alone is £249,900 [2040 x (7 x 17.50) • Deemed to satisfy requests are increasing steadily and therefore moving forward it is fair to assume DTS requests will exceed 3000 next year – the savings to suppliers will therefore increase to £367,500.
Savings to Suppliers & Buyers by using CHAS • Using data from 3 Buyers who have recently adopted CHAS/SSIP within their prequalification processes. • 813 assessments were avoided by these Buyers as the supplier as they were already assessed compliant with CHAS. • Assuming the average time spent by supplier completing a pre-qual questionnaire is 7 hours • The average cost per hour to supplier & buyer is £17.50 • Average time spent by buyer assessing an application is 3 hours Savings to suppliers & buyers (in relation to just these 3 buyers) is £142,275 • [(813 x (7 x 17.50)) + (813 x (3 x 17.50))] • We have 515 buyers!!!
