Pre-qualification

Pre-Qualification overview

Ordering online used to create worries over buyers finding and using 'cowboy' tradesmen or financially insecure suppliers. In fact the reverse is true.

Once suppliers have been properly checked for financial stability, Health and Safety compliance, Equal Opportunities and Environmental policies etc as well as Best Value , then your e-procurement system can ensure that only these suppliers are available to buyers.

@UK is working with Constructionline™ the recognised leading organisation in supplier pre-qualification owned and supported by the Department of Trade and Industry. Constructionline, as the name implies has a very strong user base in the areas of building and facilities management although its system can be, and is being used, to identify reliable, secure suppliers in any area of procurement. The @UK Supplier Management System (SMS) can ensure that only pre-qualified suppliers appear for selection when creating a Request for Price (RFP) for goods and services. We can even work with any buying body to offer all your suppliers special terms to open a joint @UK/Constructionline subscription, so they can serve the whole public sector this way
