The end of Stroma

Chris Pearson
Enrolling with Stroma wasn't difficult - it was the best value. Then I met the likes of JP and DZ. ?


Today I received an e-mail saying that the Stroma scheme will cease w.e.f. 1 Aug. As far as I can see, my year's subscription will be unchanged so I appear to gain, but next year's subscription will be substantially higher, so not good.


The lack of competition in the CPS cannot be a good thing, but I am at a loss as to how the situation could be improved. Rant over!

    For sure the whole setup and requirement for it needs a sensible overhaul, but it is disappointing whilst the current operation is sustained, regarding the reported demise of Stroma .


    Mind you this CPS thing always 'sucked' as a 'requirement' (so to speak) in my view and one example, mentioning it again from ages back, was a friend of mine; a long time member of NAPIT, who tendered for a contract and didn't get selected; on asking for feedback the answer flummoxed him ... everything was fine, except you were not in NICEIC and that's the standard we were looking for (not quoted as I cant remember the exact words).


    Well, a customer can choose who they like to work for them, fair enough, but it shows up the whole very questionable subject for me of CPS and other associated issues.
