Our Newsline article provides details of the recently published, revised proposal for Pre-qualification reform which includes the development of a Common Assessment Standard and an Online Source of Information (please see attached). We are working towards having the Common Assessment Standard out for consultation by the end of this year, with the new system up and running in 2018.
Analysing existing assessment schemes
As part of the development of the Common Assessment Standard, Build UK has agreed with assessment schemes and Trade Associations to undertake an exercise to analyse existing assessments schemes that exist in the industry at present. Undertaking the GAP analysis will help us understand the extent and variation in current pre-qualification assessments in order for us to establish where areas of commonality and efficiency can be established.
We will be undertaking this over the summer and outputs from the exercise will be communicated with all our members for consultation as we move towards Autumn 2017.
