A better way to find your IT partner.
A useful directory helps you understand your options. Company size, marketing budget and a missing certificate should not decide who looks like a good IT partner.
Relevant expertise
Explore services, sectors, location and support arrangements. Choose for your own needs rather than a universal league table.
Readable evidence
Profiles explain whether information comes from a provider, a public website or a specific check. Confirm important details directly.
Fair discovery
Browse results are alphabetical. The match finder uses your selected requirements. No paid placement in either order.
Three measures. Three different questions.
Business fit: how the provider’s recorded services, coverage and customer experience relate to the requirements you select. AI can help turn a brief into editable filters; the matching rules use the recorded facts. A recommendation is a starting point for a conversation.
Evidence coverage: how much useful information is recorded in each area of a profile. The dashboard shows points, graphs and the underlying criteria. A lower total means there are more questions to ask. It is not a rating of the provider’s service quality, and a larger or more expensive certificate collection does not automatically mean a better fit.
Previous assessments: dated records from the earlier assessment framework, displayed separately where available. Their original points and category detail remain inspectable; they are not a current recommendation or a ranking boost.
New vetting bookings are paused.
We are reviewing the independent vetting process. New bookings and current vetting medals remain paused, while profiles, evidence dashboards, historical assessment detail and free directory badges remain available. A paused verification badge does not mean that a provider has failed an assessment.
A specialist or smaller provider may never need the same certifications as a large enterprise supplier. Ask about relevant experience, references, support arrangements and contract terms.
Sources have different limits.
- Provider information
- An owner-maintained profile means the business can update it. Ownership is not an endorsement of every claim.
- Public information
- Websites and imported records may be incomplete or out of date. AI summaries are labelled and can make mistakes.
- Company records
- A company number is an identifier. A matching Companies House record provides legal-entity context, not proof of service quality.
- Credentials and technical checks
- A credential recorded on a profile may be declared or detected. Confirm its holder, scope and expiry with the issuing body. Dated website checks describe that website's technical settings, not the provider's client work.
Help keep the directory accurate.
Providers can claim and maintain their profile. Anyone can report a detail that needs correcting. We review corrections rather than turning a missing field into a negative rating.
