Hi everyone,

Got this email today, looks like prices will go up, just wondered why in this climate we being stuffed by the Government. I have customers moaning about prices all the time. What is your take on it ?
The following information will affect all contractors registered on our Part P competent persons scheme.
In June 2012 the department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) introduced its new authorisation criteria for Certification Bodies licensed to operate Competent Person Schemes. The new criteria requires certification bodies to:

1. Become UKAS accredited for all of their schemes
2. Consider Risk Based Assessments (RBA)
3. Introduce a mandatory Insurance Backed Warranty (IBW)

However, in reviewing the authorisation criteria to implement the mandatory Insurance Backed Warranty (IBW) we will have to change the way in which the current warranty provision operates. Instead of being able to offer a free provision for the discretion of your customers to purchase, we will have to introduce the system where a compulsory warranty is added to the cost of the job notification fee. We appreciate that this will mean some additional cost for you but it will also mean that we can remove some of the administrative and assessment burden placed on you as to how you currently need to demonstrate that you meet this scheme criteria. You will also be able to provide the additional peace of mind to your customers that all of your work is automatically covered by the warranty without them having to do anything.
