Common Assessment Standard Latest (13.7.23)

BAM Construction has become the latest Build UK member to specify the Common Assessment Standard for its pre‐qualification requirements, with Head of Procurement Dan Billinge confirming: “At BAM, we are always exploring ways to create efficiencies for our valued supply chain partners…By introducing the Common Assessment Standard as our pre‐qualification process, we are now accepting all Recognised Assessment Bodies, resulting in reduced cost and time for our partners.”

BAM Construction joins a growing list of organisations using the Common Assessment Standard, and members of the supply chain can now obtain just one certification from any of the Recognised Assessment Bodies in order to tender for work with them. The Common Assessment Standard, which is endorsed by the CLC, has two levels of certification ‐ desktop and site‐based ‐ and companies should apply for the appropriate level depending on their trade, size and the requirements of their clients.
