The cost to sign up to the Procurement Skills Accord is dependent on whether an organisation joins as a ‘Partner’ or ‘Supplier’.
A “Partner” is an organisation that has a labour-based supplier chain that works on the energy and utilities assets (suppliers of equipment-only services or who provide “non-technical” labour services (such as IT and marketing) are not included in this definition)
A “Supplier” is an organisation that has no such supply chain
| Commitments applicable to organisation | Partners | Suppliers |
|---|---|---|
| Commitment 1 | Yes | Yes |
| Commitment 2 | Yes | N/A |
| Commitment 3 | Yes | N/A |
| Commitment 4 | Yes | Yes |
| Commitment 5 | Yes | Yes |
| Annual Fee (1 April – 31 March, irrespective of when in the year they sign up and pay) | £2,500 (Plus VAT) | £750 (Plus VAT) |
*Please note – sign up through the Supplier route is only open to organisations who do not have a labour-based supply chain working in technical/operational roles in the energy and utility sector. This is subject to Energy & Utility Skills’ approval.
