What is the The Common Assessment Standard?
The Common Assessment Standard (CAS) is now required as a pre-qualification (PQ) for construction and trade companies to join bodies and bid for contracts. The CAS has been introduced to increase productivity and efficiency by early-stage pre-qualification of companies standing. This early-stage PQ will be used by CHAS and Achilles assessment bodies using data sharing to obtain the information. Therefore, Constructionline is also now asking for CAS information to obtain its certification.

To pass the CAS, we have identified the following up to date policies and procedures that are required:
- Anti-Bribery and corruption policy.
