I was astonished when I was told that the Gestapo TV Licensing collection service is to replace Corgi the Gas regulator April 1, 2009
I read in the article below 'it was felt that more should be done to raise public awareness of gas and CO risks' .. what utter tosh...CORGI have an excellent record for awareness, safety and experience in the field, to be replaced by a Govt friendly BB style company that will obviously be implementing more and more regulations on CO2 emissions....
In other words another SCAM
HSE picks Capita as gas scheme provider
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) today announced Capita as its preferred bidder to provide a new gas installer registration scheme.
The new scheme starts on April 1, 2009 and will replace the existing scheme operated by CORGI.
The HSE admitted that criticisms by stakeholders of the existing gas installer registration scheme run by CORGI, "had some foundation".
A spokesman for the HSE said "Even though the official statistics were showing an improving picture, it was felt that more should be done to raise public awareness of gas and CO risks".
The HSE issued 'Invitation to tender' documents to short-listed companies in January 2008 and CORGI and Capita emerged as the two strongest bidders.
A spokesman for the HSE said "What made Capita the preferred bidder was Capita's ideas for promoting gas safety and delivering the new brand. They introduced certain new ideas to the scheme".
