As part of the registration on ProContract you must provide copies of valid insurance certificates every year.

  • Public liability – minimum £5 million cover.

All companies providing goods, works or services to CHP and on our behalf must practice equality of opportunity and not discriminate against our customers or employees on the grounds of race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, age, religion or belief. You’ll therefore be required to provide evidence of your policies in respect of this or sign up to ours.

Under Schedule 1 of the Housing Act 1996, we are prohibited from trading with companies if any director, partner, principal proprietor or person directly involved in the management of the firm, is one of our employees or Board members (or close relative of such person). To show compliance all companies we trade with must complete a declaration on this every year.

Invoicing for work

We use an electronic purchase-to-pay system for raising purchase orders and paying invoices. To be paid promptly, make sure you’ve received a valid purchase order from CHP before beginning any works or services and reference the purchase order number on your invoice. Invoices without a valid purchase order number won’t be paid.

All invoices must be sent to purchase.ledger@chp.org.uk.

Payment terms are NET 30 days.
