We’re delighted to share that FCSA has been awarded Best Supplier to the Contracting Industry at The Contracting Awards 2025. To receive this recognition from the leading lights of the industry reinforces the impact of our work to strengthen compliance, raise standards and protect workers across the temporary labour market.

The judges praised FCSA’s impact over the past year, noting our leadership through major policy developments, our clear industry guidance, and our delivery of practical compliance tools that support recruiters, umbrella companies and end-hirers alike. The integration of veriPAYE into the newly relaunched Diligence Hub was highlighted as a major advancement in improving supply chain assurance and real-time transparency.

It was also a strong night for the wider FCSA community. A large proportion of the evening’s award winners were FCSA Accredited Members or Business Partners, reflecting the consistently high standards upheld by those who choose to meet and maintain FCSA’s requirements. Their success reinforces the value of accreditation and the shared commitment to ethical practice across our network.

Chris Bryce, Chief Executive of FCSA, said:

“We are absolutely delighted to be recognised as Best Supplier to the Contracting Industry. This award is a testament to the dedication of our team and the exceptional standards demonstrated every day by our accredited members and business partners. It is particularly rewarding to see so many organisations connected to FCSA win awards across multiple categories. It shows that when you prioritise compliance, transparency and doing the right thing, recognition naturally follows. We will continue to support the sector through the reforms ahead and provide the tools and guidance needed to keep workers protected and supply chains strong.”

This recognition comes at a pivotal moment for the industry. With joint and several liability on the horizon, increased due-diligence expectations and growing scrutiny of payroll models, the need for trusted, independent compliance oversight has never been more important.

FCSA will continue to support the sector with our rigorous Accreditation, clear guidance and digital tools designed to deliver real evidence, not assumptions.

Thank you to our members, partners and the wider contracting community for your support. Together, we are raising standards and strengthening the industry for the future.
