Vehicles & equipment
Every van road-legal. Every bit of kit inspected.
Vehicles and equipment in Assured Contractors checks each contractor vehicle's MOT history with DVSA and its tax status with DVLA, keeps its insurance on file and books it to sites; the equipment register tracks each item's status and next inspection date, and stops quarantined kit from being booked.
Contractors add their vehicles once, by registration. You see the MOT, tax and insurance read-only and can suspend a vehicle from your sites. Your own plant and equipment sit in a register that bookings respect.

How it works
How does it work, step by step?
Add the vehicle
The contractor enters the registration. Assured Contractors looks up MOT history with DVSA and tax with DVLA.
Add the insurance
Upload the certificate with its expiry date; a clean upload is accepted automatically.
Clients see the status
Each client sees the vehicle read-only with its status and reasons, and can suspend it.
Book it to a site
Put the vehicle on a site booking or a crane or delivery slot.
Where does the MOT and tax information come from?
MOT history comes from DVSA and tax status from DVLA, looked up by the vehicle's registration.
Does Assured Contractors check driving licences?
No. It checks the vehicle — MOT, tax and insurance — not the driver's licence. A driver can be put on a booking as a person with the driver role.
Can a client change a contractor's vehicle?
No. Contractors' vehicles are shared with clients read-only. A client can suspend a vehicle from its sites, and only that client can reinstate it.
Does the equipment register replace LOLER thorough examinations?
No. It records each item's status and inspection dates so you can see what's due; the thorough examinations and PUWER inspections themselves are still carried out by competent people.
What happens to quarantined equipment?
It can't be added to a booking. Equipment under maintenance can be booked, with a warning.
