Construction engineering firm Canary Wharf Contractors has become the latest company to adopt the Common Assessment Standard.
Supply Chain Manager Ben Fidler said that “reducing risk, duplication and administration, both internally and externally, allows [the] supply chain to focus much needed resource in other areas”.
Canary Wharf Contractors 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 ‐ Achilles, CHAS, Constructionline and CQMS ‐ improving efficiency and reducing cost across the industry at just the right time.
ECA’s Director of CSR Paul Reeve said, “the Common Assessment Standard reflects important industry developments, such as the need for enhanced cyber-security, the drive towards greater sustainability and improving diversity in construction.
“The CAS gives contractors and clients the essential pre-qualification assurance they need from their supply chain, whilst ensuring it remains suitable and proportionate to small and micro suppliers.”
