Description

Since the appointment of the current concessionaire in 2014, FORS has grown significantly and today has over 5,000 accredited operators, consisting of over 105,000 vehicles. There are now accredited operators across 17 countries and FORS is seen as international best practice. Further information can be found at www.fors-online.org.uk
To prevent a conflict of interest, the concessionaire cannot be:
· a FORS audit provider - as they will be required to undertake independent quality assurance on the audits and issue/enforce certifications,
· the FORS Governance and Standards provider - who sets the FORS Standard and acts as a final independent appeals board on audits, audit provider management, compliance and certification.
