Deem to Satisfy
SSIP operates a Deem to Satisfy (DtS) agreement for mutual (or non-mutual) recognition which is in place amongst all SSIP Members. All registered members agree to accept a current, valid approval by any other registered Member subject to all correct details being displayed on the SSIP Portal.
“Since inception of SSIP we are pleased to advise mutual recognition has enabled savings to suppliers in excess of £279m* in addition to the time savings by all parties involved. We are keen to work with any buyer who would like to know more about the benefits of recognising the many thousands of suppliers who are currently assessed by SSIP members.”
