Purchasing
The Government has set out the need for greater transparency across its operations to enable the public to hold public bodies and politicians to account. This includes commitments relating to public expenditure, intended to help achieve better value for money.
As part of the transparency agenda, government has made the following commitments with regard to procurement and contracting:
All new central government ICT contracts over the value of 10,000 to be published in full online.
All new central government tender documents for contracts over 10,000 to be published on a single website with this information to be made available to the public free of charge.
All new central government contracts to be published in full.
Suppliers and those organisations looking to bid for sector contracts including those with ConstructionSkills should be aware that if they are awarded a ConstructionSkills contract, the resulting contract between the supplier and ConstructionSkills will be published. In some circumstances, limited redactions will be made to some contracts before they are published in order to comply with existing law and for the protection of national security.
ConstructionSkills only have two methods of ordering
- An official order that must be quoted on all invoices (payment of satisfactory invoices within 30 days), or
- Corporate purchasing cards.
Supplying goods/services process
- Review the list of advertised tenders

- Upon receipt ConstructionSkills will evaluate with all other interested suppliers considering experience and suitability. We cannot guarantee that an expression of interest will result in you being asked to tender.
- ConstructionSkills will decide the most cost effective method of contracting to obtain best value.
