The Common Assessment Standard: an easier route to pre-qualification

Earlier this month, Build UK’s David Bishop spoke to NFRC Members in a webinar around the Common Assessment Standard: a system designed to make pre-qualification easier and cheaper, especially if you already use Achilles, CHAS, Constructionline or CQMS. View the full session.

NFRC hosted a recent member call with David Bishop, Policy Manager for Build UK, covering the Common Assessment Standard (CAS). The session included an overview of the standard, recognised assessment bodies, organisations using the standards and how to data share. We had a great turnout for the call, but also recorded it for those of you wanting to learn more but unable to join on the day. To listen to the recording and find out more about the Common Assessment Standard, you can now view the full session recording.

If you have further questions about the Standard and whether it could be a viable solution for your business, you are welcome to contact NFRC's Policy Officer. Finally, if you find that clients and main contractors who are signed up are not accepting CAS when you are tendering for work, then please let NFRC Helpdesk know and we will be happy to investigate.
