Approved Contractor Scheme & Security Industry Authority

Welcome to ACS Pacesetters

The Approved Contract Scheme Pacesetters membership is made up of Contract Security Guarding Companies who are in the top 15% benchmarking and achievement levels set by the Security Industry Authority Approved Contractor Scheme.

To achieve accreditation companies must reach a score of zero and currently the maximum score is +168 points. All members of ACS Pacesetters will have gained a minimum score of +94 during their recent annual inspection by one of the five appointed UKAS inspection bodies.

There are currently 730 Contract Security Guarding Companies who have achieved ACS accreditation, therefore, it is very difficult for the buyers of security services to differentiate between them. The ACS Pacesetters places emphasis on the importance of the annual score, making the tender process for end-users very much simpler.

In restricting membership of the ACS Pacesetter to the top 15%, the field has been well and truly split; a total of only 110 companies are eligible to join. These companies, both national and regional, have proved they are the best in class. Quite simply, as a client, would you want to select a company to tender for your security contract which was not in the top 15% of the ACS scoring system? It surely has to be the safest route.
