Novus Property Solutions has become the latest Build UK Contractor member to specify the Common Assessment Standard for its pre‐qualification requirements, joining a growing list of organisations using the Common Assessment Standard. Members of the supply chain can now obtain just ONE certification from any of the Recognised Assessment Bodies ‐ Achilles, CHAS, Constructionline and CQMS ‐ improving efficiency and reducing cost across the industry.
The Government has also published a new Procurement Policy Note (PPN) 03/23 in response to calls from Build UK and its members which enables central Government departments and wider public sector bodies to use the Common Assessment Standard to pre‐qualify their construction supply chains rather than PAS91.
