Independent certifications, regulatory licences, and personnel vetting that give you confidence in every aspect of our service—from procurement compliance to on-site safety.

What accreditations does Hygiene Solutions hold?

These cover quality management (ISO 9001:2015), procurement frameworks (ESPO 239_20), health and safety compliance (Safe Contractor), waste management licensing (Environment Agency waste carrier and transfer station licences), and personnel vetting (enhanced DBS checks for all staff).

Our Credentials

Industry Accreditations & Licences

Six key accreditations and licences that underpin every aspect of our service.

📋

ESPO Framework 239_20

Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation

Pre-tendered procurement framework for washroom and hygiene services. Hygiene Solutions is an approved supplier, enabling public sector organisations to procure our services via direct award without running a separate tender.

What it means for you: Faster, compliant procurement with pre-validated pricing—no need to run your own tender process.

ISO 9001:2015

International Organization for Standardization

Internationally recognised quality management system certification. Demonstrates that our processes, service delivery, and continuous improvement practices are independently audited and meet rigorous quality benchmarks.

What it means for you: Consistent, reliable service quality backed by systematic processes and regular external audits.
🛡

Safe Contractor

Alcumus

Health and safety accreditation confirming that Hygiene Solutions meets recognised safety standards for working on client premises. Covers risk assessments, method statements, insurance, training records, and safety management systems.

What it means for you: Independent assurance that our operatives work safely and comply with current health and safety legislation.
🚚

Licensed Waste Carrier

Environment Agency

Full Environment Agency waste carrier licence authorising Hygiene Solutions to collect, transport, and transfer controlled waste. Every vehicle in our fleet is registered and every driver is trained in waste handling regulations and procedures.

What it means for you: Legal, fully documented waste collections with duty of care transfer notes on every single visit.
🏭

Waste Transfer Station Licence

Environment Agency

Our Hinckley headquarters operates as a registered waste transfer station, licensed by the Environment Agency. Waste is consolidated, segregated, and prepared for onward transport to our recycling partner, Go For Green.

What it means for you: Complete chain of custody from your premises to final processing—your compliance files are always audit-ready.
🔒

Enhanced DBS Checks

Disclosure and Barring Service

Every member of our team—service technicians, office staff, and management—holds an enhanced DBS check. This is a blanket company policy, not a selective one applied only to staff visiting sensitive environments.

What it means for you: Peace of mind that every person entering your premises has been thoroughly vetted to the highest standard.
The Benefits

What This Means for You

💪

Peace of Mind

FAQs

Accreditation & Compliance FAQs

Common questions about our certifications, licences, and quality standards.

The ESPO Framework Agreement 239_20 is a pre-tendered procurement framework managed by the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation. Public sector bodies—including councils, NHS trusts, schools, and universities—can use it to procure washroom services via direct award, bypassing the need for a separate tender process. This saves significant time and procurement resource whilst ensuring pre-validated pricing and quality standards.
Yes. Hygiene Solutions holds current ISO 9001:2015 certification for our quality management system. This internationally recognised standard demonstrates that our processes, service delivery, and continuous improvement practices meet rigorous, independently audited quality benchmarks. Our certification is maintained through regular external audits.
Yes. Every member of our team holds an enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check—not just those assigned to sensitive environments such as schools or healthcare settings. This is a blanket company policy that applies to all service technicians, office staff, and management. Enhanced DBS checks are the highest level of standard criminal record check available.
Hygiene Solutions holds both a licensed waste carrier registration and a waste transfer station licence, both issued by the Environment Agency. The waste carrier licence authorises us to collect and transport controlled waste. The transfer station licence authorises our Hinckley facility to receive, sort, and consolidate waste before onward transport to our recycling partner. Together, these licences ensure full chain of custody and regulatory compliance.
Safe Contractor accreditation, administered by Alcumus, confirms that Hygiene Solutions meets recognised health and safety standards for working on client premises. The assessment covers risk assessments, method statements, insurance, training records, and safety management systems. For facilities managers and procurement teams, it provides independent assurance that our operatives work safely and in compliance with current legislation.
