Implementing MURS for Enhanced Utility Services

Contact Us
A leader in the UK construction and demolition sector recognised the need to expand their utility services offerings by achieving accreditation in the Multi Utility Registration Scheme (MURS), encompassing the National Electricity Registration Scheme (NERS), the Water Industry Registration Scheme (WIRS), and the Gas Industry Registration Scheme (GIRS). This strategic move was aimed at enhancing their market competitiveness and demonstrating their capability in delivering multi-utility projects to the highest standards.

Our engagement with the client involved a comprehensive approach to guide them through the accreditation process for MURS, ensuring their systems and practices met the stringent criteria set out by each of the component schemes (NERS, WIRS, and GIRS). The project’s scope was designed to encompass a full spectrum of consultancy and support services, from initial gap analysis through to accreditation success.

Outcomes achieved

The client successfully achieved MURS accreditation, marking a significant milestone in their expansion into multi-utility services. This accreditation not only enhances their service offering but also reinforces their commitment to quality, safety, and compliance across their operations. Key outcomes of the project include:

Accreditation under NERS, WIRS, and GIRS, positioning the client as a competent provider in the multi-utility sector.

Improved operational processes and practices aligned with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Enhanced market competitiveness and the ability to bid for and execute a broader range of projects.

We continue to provide support and consultancy to ensure that the client maintains their accreditations and continues to improve and adapt their practices in line with industry developments and regulatory changes.
