Common Assessment Standard (CAS) v3.2

Following the issue of PPN 03/23 earlier this year, which allows public sector bodies to use the Common Assessment Standard in place of PAS 91, Build UK has published an updated version of the Common Assessment Standard. Version 3.2 includes minor updates to the question set and associated guidance to reflect further legislative changes post‐Brexit and to provide additional clarity for companies being certified. Suppliers will now be required to answer the updated question set when they go through the certification process for the Common Assessment Standard.

We have also collated a series of communication tools to help promote the Common Assessment Standard across the supply chain. These include new Frequently Asked Questions for public sector bodies looking to use the Common Assessment Standard for their pre‐qualification requirements.
