BuildingConfidence
BuildingConfidence is Achilles' UK construction pre-qualification scheme, which the owner says incorporates SSIP and CAS and goes beyond both. Achilles' own page states: "BuildingConfidence incorporates both Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) and the Common Assessment Standard (CAS) and, importantly, goes beyond these standards.".

What it is
Achilles' own page states, verbatim: "BuildingConfidence is the UK's highest level of construction accreditation."
Achilles' own page states, verbatim: "BuildingConfidence incorporates both Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) and the Common Assessment Standard (CAS) and, importantly, goes beyond these standards" — BuildingConfidence is a separate, wider Achilles scheme built on top of SSIP and CAS, not identical to either.
The page uses the word "accreditation" in its own marketing language ("BuildingConfidence accreditation"); Achilles does not describe itself on this page as a national accreditation body under ISO/IEC 17011, and the word is not treated here as that formal status.
Who owns it
BuildingConfidence is run by Achilles (Achilles Information Limited), a private supplier-information company, in a scheme that builds on the SSIP and CAS standards rather than replacing an independent national accreditation body.
