SIA approved contractors sub-contracting outside of the ACS
Sub-contracting to a company that is not an SIA approved contractor: what the rules are and how you ask for permission.
Unless we have given you permission to do otherwise, you must only sub-contract to SIA approved contractors. Your customers have contracted an SIA approved contractor and will therefore expect the service they receive to be from an approved contractor.
In exceptional circumstances, we may allow you to sub-contract to a company we have not approved. You need our permission to do this and your customer must also agree to it. Any permission we grant will be for a limited time 바카라 사이트 usually no longer than 3 months.
How to ask for permission

You must fill in all fields marked with an asterisk (*). We will reject any form in which any of these fields are left blank.
Upload the form to your SIA online business account. Select 바카라 사이트Help바카라 사이트, then select 바카라 사이트Other바카라 사이트 as the category. Enter 바카라 사이트sub-contractor request바카라 사이트 as the text of your message.

How we make our decision
We review each application individually. We will consider your specific situation.
We will only give you permission if we agree that your circumstances are exceptional.
We will also consider:

- your efforts to avoid using a company we have not approved
- whether you could have prevented the situation by acting earlier
- any potential risk to public safety or the reputation of our approved contractor scheme
- the due diligence and quality checks you have done to confirm the sub-contractor meets the required ACS standard
- how you will align the sub-contracted service with ACS requirements (your 바카라 사이트sub-contractor plan바카라 사이트)
We will try to reach a decision within 5 working days.

What counts as exceptional circumstances?
Exceptional circumstances are when your only option is to use a contractor we have not approved. This is usually when you have an urgent need and no SIA-approved contractor is available.
Some examples are:
- you need a specialised service and you cannot find an SIA-approved contractor who offers it
- you have a short-term security demand that your company cannot satisfy on its own (such as a festival or major event) and you cannot find enough SIA-approved contractors to cover it
- you need security services urgently for a situation where people바카라 사이트s health and safety is at risk
