Lose the assurance, lose the contract.

Tier-one contractors are auditing their supply chain's competence management before they place orders — ahead of BS 8670-2. StaffCircle gives you the point-in-time golden thread: who was competent, at what level, who signed it off — the moment a customer, or the Building Safety Regulator, asks.

BS 8670-2
ready ahead of the standard
Already happening

BS 8670-2 publication is expected around February 2027 — but the audits are live now. Tier-one contractors and specifiers are checking supply-chain competence management before they place orders, and all four UK nations feed the same standard. The firms getting specified are the ones who can show evidence today.

Trusted by regulated, safety-critical organisations

StaffCircle is working with fire-protection manufacturers, installers and safety-critical suppliers across the UK construction supply chain.

The question that wins or loses the work

Your spreadsheet can't answer this.

"What level was this person at in August 2024 — who signed it off, and were they in scope?"

When a tier-one contractor's auditor — or an investigator — asks that question, a spreadsheet gives you a scramble. StaffCircle answers it in one click. That's the golden thread: a point-in-time trail of competence, evidence and sign-off that anyone can follow back, for every person, on any date.

March 2024
Validation review completed
SKEB assessment at level B · evidence uploaded · signed off by named SME
August 2024 — the point in time
Competent at level C, in scope
Retrievable record: level, sign-off, evidence and scope exactly as they stood on the date asked
January 2025
Revalidation with expiry alert
CPD hours assured against the 10-hour target for this high-risk role

AI Assist

AI your IT department will say yes to

Most firms in this industry have banned shadow ChatGPT and locked AI down to Copilot — which is weak outside Microsoft's own apps. StaffCircle's AI Assist runs inside Azure UK, locked to your tenant's own data, fully audited, and ISO 42001-certified — the first international standard for AI management. Your exec team gets answers. Your IT team gets assurance.

From the supply chain

Why safety-critical firms are moving now

We could lose contracts if we can't provide assurances. Tier-one customers want assurance that we manage competency effectively before they'll place an order.

Competence Management Lead · UK fire-protection manufacturer

A spreadsheet can't tell you what level someone was at last August, who signed it off, or whether they were in scope. A point-in-time system can.

Compliance outcome · passive fire & building products sector

Compliance-led tenders used to be a scramble. With a single auditable source of truth, the evidence is ready before anyone asks.

Straight answers for a regulated industry

How does StaffCircle evidence competence?

It records who was competent, at what level (A–E), on which date, and who signed it off — with evidence attached. That's a retrievable, point-in-time record forming the golden thread for your people, ready for a customer audit or a regulator's question.

Is it aligned to BS 8670-2 and the BSR?

Yes. StaffCircle uses SKEB frameworks (skills, knowledge, experience & behaviours) per role across the A–E levels, in the same language as the Building Safety Regulator and the CCPI scheme. The standard applies across all four UK nations — and tier-one supply-chain audits are already running ahead of its expected publication around February 2027.

Can StaffCircle track CPD for high-risk roles?

Yes. Flag high-autonomy roles as high-risk, name the subject-matter experts (SMEs) staff escalate to, and assure the 10-hour CPD expectation across every flagged role — with validation reviews fired automatically and expiry alerts before anything lapses.

Couldn't we build this in Power Apps or a spreadsheet?

You could — if you have the build capacity, the ongoing maintenance budget, and confidence a homegrown tool will stand up as audit-grade history. StaffCircle gives you no build cost, no maintenance, and a point-in-time record designed to be investigated.

Will our IT team approve it?

This is usually the fastest sign-off in the process. StaffCircle runs on Azure UK, AI is locked to your tenant's own data, and we hold ISO 27001, ISO 42001 (AI management), Cyber Essentials and G-Cloud approved-supplier status.

Who is this for?

The whole supply chain now expected to evidence competence management: manufacturers, installers, compliance firms, fire & security systems businesses — and the architects and specifiers who sign designs off. Typically 50–1,000 employees, often with no in-house L&D function.

Get specified. Stay specified.

StaffCircle keeps your workforce competence records bulletproof — the golden thread for your people, ready the moment a tier-one contractor, a customer, or the Building Safety Regulator asks.
