VH2 has been awarded the Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register, or JOSCAR, accreditation mark which is valued by some of the largest purchasers in the defence community. Our accreditation indicates that we have demonstrated our commitment and credentials to the industry. It provides some key benefits across the industry and easier access to the markets represented by ADS. Specifically, JOSCAR, has been created to help prime contractors demonstrate that as a supplier VH2 is ‘fit for business’, not only in the defence, aerospace, security and space sectors but also other sectors they may be operating in. As a collaborative solution it is intended to help reduce the time, cost, resources and duplication otherwise needed to collate and validate suppliers’ information.

In partnership with Borwell, for Local and Central Government work, VH2 can be contracted on the Crown Commercial Services frameworks ‘Technology Services 2’ and ‘Digital Outcomes and Specialists 2’. With Borwell we are also one of the Improvement & Efficiency West Midlands approved suppliers.

VH2 was assessed as meeting the Cyber Essentials implementation profile and, at the time of testing, our ICT defences were assessed as satisfactory against commodity based cyber attack. However, we note that this Certificate does not in any way guarantee that the our defences will remain satisfactory against cyber attack but we endeavour to do our utmost to make it so. Our certificate reference is: IASME-A-04952
