Most UK contractor-compliance tools are heavy accreditation schemes or enterprise platforms. COI Tracker does the one job most teams actually need: track every contractor’s insurance certificate expiry and chase the renewal automatically.

The job
CHAS, SafeContractor and Constructionline are valuable, but they assess a contractor once a year and cost hundreds per contractor. For simply knowing whose insurance is in date today, they’re the wrong tool at the wrong price.
Full contractor-management suites bundle risk assessments, permits and inductions you may not need. If the real pain is lapsed certificates, a focused tracker beats a platform you’ll use 10% of.
Between the heavyweight scheme and the heavyweight platform sits a spreadsheet that nobody updates and that never sends a reminder. COI Tracker is the cheap middle that actually gets used.
Typical vendors uk contractor compliance track
Contractor compliance software stores your contractors’ documents — chiefly insurance certificates — tracks each one’s expiry date, and reminds you (and optionally the contractor) before it lapses, so you always have current proof on file. COI Tracker focuses on the insurance-certificate side; it organises and reminds rather than verifying or accrediting.
It’s a different tool for a narrower job. CHAS and SafeContractor accredit a contractor’s wider health-and-safety competence annually. COI Tracker just tracks insurance-certificate expiry and chases renewals — at a fraction of the cost. Many firms use an accreditation scheme and COI Tracker together rather than choosing one.
In a couple of minutes. Sign in with a magic link, add your first contractors with their certificate type and expiry date — or import a spreadsheet on Growth — and reminders start firing automatically. The first 3 contractors are free with no card.
Yes. The free plan (3 contractors) and the free tools — the expired-certificate scanner and the tracking-spreadsheet template — work identically for UK users; nothing is region-locked. The whole product (magic-link sign-in, certificate storage, email reminders, CSV import, checkout) works the same in the UK as in North America.
