However, due to rising operational costs and other economic factors, we\u2019ve had to adjust our subscription fees to maintain the quality of our services and ensure our long-term sustainability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>We\u2019re also investing heavily into the transformation of FORS, which includes simplifying and demystifying the scheme, improving our technology and training offering, and providing more support for you in gaining and maintaining accreditation.<\/p>\n<p>For most operators, there was a reduction or no change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n\n        <div class=\"accordion-item\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-header\">Who was consulted about the subscription fee adjustment in Summer 2023?<\/div>\n            <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n<p>The proposed changes went through several rounds of consultation with FORS Executive Group, and we\u2019ve worked to ensure our pricing model remains fair and affordable for operators.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n\n        <div class=\"accordion-item\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-header\">If I register for FORS before 1 June 2023, will I be charged the new subscription fee?<\/div>\n            <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n<p>No, you will be charged the current subscription fee based on the number of vehicles in your fleet. When you renew your subscription next year, you will be charged the new pricing for operators.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n\n        <div class=\"accordion-item\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-header\">My membership renewal date is before 1 July 2023 but I have been charged the new prices, what do I do? <\/div>\n            <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n<p>Please contact <a href=\"mailto:payments@fors-online.org.uk\">payments@fors-online.org.uk<\/a> and a member of the team will look into why this has happened.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n\n        <div class=\"accordion-item\">\n            <div class=\"accordion-header\">Why have I received an invoice with the new prices before 1 July 2023?<\/div>\n            <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n<p>Operators receive invoices 30 days before they are due, therefore you will receive your invoice 30 days before your subscription renewal date, which falls in July. The new prices affect any operators with a membership renewal date on or after 1 July 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"wpupg_custom_link":[],"wpupg_custom_link_behaviour":["default"],"wpupg_custom_link_nofollow":[],"wpupg_custom_image":[],"wpupg_custom_image_id":[],"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-66648819","page","type-page","status-publish"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Frequently Asked Questions - Subscription fee change - FORS - Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fors-online.org.uk\/cms\/frequently-asked-questions-subscription-fee-change\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Frequently Asked Questions - Subscription fee change - FORS - Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.fors-online.org.uk\/cms\/frequently-asked-questions-subscription-fee-change\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"FORS - Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-05-26T08:20:16+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.fors-online.org.uk\/cms\/frequently-asked-questions-subscription-fee-change\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.fors-online.org.uk\/cms\/frequently-asked-questions-subscription-fee-change\/\",\"name\":\"Frequently Asked Questions - Subscription fee change - FORS - Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.fors-online.org.uk\/cms\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-05-26T08:18:24+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-05-26T08:20:16+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.fors-online.org.uk\/cms\/frequently-asked-questions-subscription-fee-change\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.fors-online.org.uk\/cms\/frequently-asked-questions-subscription-fee-change\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.fors-online.org.uk\/cms\/frequently-asked-questions-subscription-fee-change\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.fors-online.org.uk\/cms\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Frequently Asked Questions &#8211;
