Contractor due diligence in the UK
Contractor due diligence means verifying that the contractors and suppliers you work with are solvent, properly constituted, and have no material health and safety or compliance issues. In the UK, that evidence lives in official registers — and we turn it into one clear picture.
Why contractor due diligence matters
Whether you're in construction, facilities, manufacturing, or procurement, working with third-party contractors carries risk. Companies can become insolvent, directors can be disqualified, and health and safety enforcement history can signal problems long before they hit your project. HSE publishes enforcement and injury statistics each year; Companies House holds the official record of every UK company. Checking both manually is time-consuming and hard to evidence when auditors ask.
ContractorCheck runs that due diligence for you: we pull data from Companies House and the HSE enforcement database, match it to the right company, and produce a single risk report with a Green / Amber / Red rating and a time-stamped audit trail.
What we check
- Company status (active, dissolved, in liquidation, etc.)
- Directors and disqualified officers
- Filing history (accounts, confirmation statements, overdue items)
- HSE enforcement notices (improvement notices, prohibition notices, prosecutions)
You can run a one-off check with no account, or sign up for continuous supplier risk management and get alerts when anything changes.
Who it's for
Procurement teams, health and safety managers, compliance officers, and anyone responsible for approving contractors in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Our data covers UK-registered companies and HSE enforcement activity across Great Britain.
