Source caveat

Reed’s certification data comes entirely from a **supplier self-declaration on the UK Government Digital Marketplace** — **no certification claim appears on reed.com itself**. BSI is the only certifying body named, and it is named in the declaration rather than on a certificate.

⚠️ Reed Talent Solutions’ "accreditations and frameworks" page lists **government procurement frameworks only** (RM6277, RM6394, RM6397, G-Cloud RM1557.14 and others, plus YPO/ESPO/CPC consortia). Being on a framework is not a certification.

Assess Reed in your own vendor risk programme
