Constructionline

Owned by BERR, Constructionline is a contributor to the Rethinking Construction initiative. It is the UK's register of pre-qualified construction contractors and consultants. Constructionline is designed to streamline pre-qualification procedures, to save valuable resources in the construction industry, rendering it more efficient and effective.

Over 14,000 contractors and consultants are registered with Constructionline and have all met pre-qualification requirements supported by BERR. These requirements can be found under the Other Downloads section on www.constructionline.co.uk. They cover the full spectrum of construction activities from architecture to demolition and range in size from small specialists to the largest main contractors.

Constructionline's 1,500 plus buyers range from large central government departments to Local Authorities, Universities, Further Education and NHS Trusts (portal page link). They have direct access to the database and Constructionline helps them to achieve best value objectives.

The new Constructionline database, launched in March 2006, has been completely rebuilt with leading edge technology and has been designed to integrate seamlessly with buyers' current procurement processes. The system provides buyers with a range of increased functionality including enhanced search features, additional reports and notifications, supplier management tools and increased supplier information. It also enables suppliers to see which buyers have viewed their details, if they have been added to a buyer's list or any feedback has been left on their organisation.
