At SEQual, we’re committed to continually improving the way we support suppliers and buyers across the energy sector. After listening carefully to supplier feedback, we are delighted to introduce a new membership option: SEQual Essential Assessment.
SEQual Essential is designed specifically for suppliers who provide low-risk products and services, such as:
- Paper and office supplies
- Printed media and promotional materials
- Professional services (e.g., legal, HR, finance)
- PR and marketing services
- Hotels and accommodation providers
- Other similar low-risk categories
Until now, all suppliers joining SEQual were required to complete a full HSEQ (Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality) assessment, regardless of the risk level associated with their services. We recognised that this approach could be overly complex and time-consuming for businesses offering lower-risk services.
With Essential Assessment, that has changed.
Suppliers in these categories will now complete a much simpler process, focused on providing general business information rather than answering the full HSEQ question set.
Key benefits of SEQual Essential Membership:
- Simplified application process – no full HSEQ questionnaire required
- Faster onboarding – complete your membership in less time
- Flat membership fee of £195 + VAT – clear, accessible pricing
- Visible to leading energy sector buyers – showcase your business to major organisations
SEQual Essential ensures that supplier assurance remains meaningful while being proportionate to the risk and nature of the services being supplied. This development aligns with SEQual’s wider commitment to improving access to the energy supply chain and continuing to remove duplication across the sector.
Is SEQual Essential right for you?
If you are a supplier delivering low-risk services and want to demonstrate your capability to the energy sector’s leading buyers without the need for a full HSEQ assessment, SEQual Essential is for you.
For buyers, this new membership level ensures continued confidence in supplier information while reflecting a sensible, risk-based approach to supplier assessment.
