Start with competence evidence. Check whether the provider is BAFE SP205 certified, whether named assessors are on individual registers, and whether scope matches your building complexity.

Checklist

• BAFE SP205 certification and tier coverage.
• Named assessor credentials (IFE/IFSM register status).
• Building-type experience relevant to your site profile.
• Clear report format and timescales for remedial priorities.
