We’re delighted to announce that we've achieved another double win at The Contracting Awards 2026, taking home two highly coveted awards: Best Contractor Accountancy (over 3,000 clients) for the sixth time, and Best Contractor Screening & Verification Provider for the third time.
These wins reflect our commitment to delivering exceptional service and expert guidance for contractors, recruitment agencies and businesses across the industry.
The Contracting Awards celebrate excellence across the contracting sector, recognising organisations that go above and beyond for their clients. With entries assessed by an independent panel of industry experts, we're particularly proud to receive this recognition for the dedication and hard work of our teams.
Best Contractor Accountancy (over 3,000 clients)
We're proud to have won Best Contractor Accountancy for the sixth time, recognising the specialist accountancy support we provide to limited company contractors.
We understand that running a limited company comes with important responsibilities, including navigating tax and compliance requirements. Our experienced accountancy team is here to make that process as straightforward as possible, providing the guidance and support contractors need to manage their businesses with confidence.
This award reflects our team's consistent approach to delivering a high standard of service and putting contractors first.
As the judges at The Contracting Awards noted, “Service standards are treated as commitments rather than aspirations.”
Best Contractor Screening & Verification Provider
We’re equally pleased to have been recognised as Best Contractor Screening & Verification Provider for the third time, highlighting the continued success of our growing Candidate Screening service.
In an industry where compliance, accuracy and trust are essential, effective candidate screening plays a vital role in helping recruitment agencies and businesses make informed decisions. Our experienced team works diligently to deliver a thorough, reliable and professional screening experience at every stage of the process.
Winning this award again is a fantastic endorsement of the expertise and attention to detail our team brings to every screening check. It also reflects our commitment to supporting clients as they meet the demands of the recruitment industry.
As the judges at The Contracting Awards commented, “PayStream's Candidate Screening service pairs smart technology with proactive, people-led support to get contractors verified quickly and compliantly.”
To receive this recognition once again is something we are incredibly proud of. Our success is built on the exceptional people we have across the business, who consistently go above and beyond to deliver outstanding service to our contractors and agency partners. What makes these awards particularly special is that they recognise the passion, expertise and commitment shown by our teams every single day. The standards they continue to set are remarkable, and I am immensely proud of everything we achieve together.
