Building Trust Through Accreditation
In today’s competitive markets, UK businesses face constant pressure to prove their compliance, credibility, and commitment to safety. This is where the NRTAUK Assurance Standard (NAS) comes in.
Unlike outdated schemes, NAS Accreditation is designed for modern SMEs and contractors. It’s aligned with ISO/IEC 17065 principles and supports buyers, councils, and procurement teams with a clear, independent benchmark of competence.
What Makes NAS Accreditation Different?
Independent & Impartial – Decisions are free from conflicts of interest, overseen by our impartiality committee. Aligned with UK Law & ISO Standards – Covering Health & Safety, Employment Rights, Data Protection, Equality, and more. Buyer-Friendly – Procurement teams can trust NAS as evidence of compliance, cutting red tape in tendering. Affordable & Scalable – With Basic (£749), Silver (£970), and Gold (£1,150) tiers, plus monthly plan options, there’s an accreditation route for every business.

The CORE Framework Connection
NAS isn’t just a badge. It’s powered by the CORE Framework (Compliance, Operations, Risk, Ethics).
Compliance: Proof you meet UK business laws. Operations: Demonstrating effective and safe service delivery. Risk: Showing you can identify and manage risks proactively. Ethics: Commitment to fair treatment, equality, and transparency.
This holistic approach ensures accreditation is about more than ticking boxes—it’s about future-proofing your business.
Why UK Buyers Care
Councils & Housing Associations: need quick proof of compliance. Large Contractors: reduce supply chain risk by choosing accredited partners. Private Clients: want assurance that your business isn’t just safe, but audited against independent standards.
According to the UK Government’s Procurement Policy Note (PPN 03/23), buyer confidence is directly linked to recognised accreditation frameworks. NAS gives you that edge.
