Common Assessment Standard Rollout

There are now 10 major Contractors and Clients specifying the Common Assessment Standard after Kier, Sir Robert McAlpine and Derwent London became the latest organisations to confirm they have adopted it for their pre‐qualification requirements. The full list is available on the Build UK website and members of the supply chain can obtain the Common Assessment Standard from any one of three Recognised Assessment Bodies ‐ Achilles, CHAS or Constructionline.

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 dependent upon their trade, size and requirements of their clients. Companies that are certified against the standard by a Recognised Assessment Body can use the appropriate version of the Common Assessment Standard logo.
