Owned by the Department
of Industry (DTI) Constructionline is a
contributor to the Rethinking Construction
initiative. It is the UK's largest register
of pre-qualified construction contractors and consultants.
Constructionline is designed to streamline procurement
procedures and save valuable resources in the construction
industry rendering it more efficient and effective.
Over 10,500 contractors and consultants
are registered with Constructionline and have all met
pre-qualification requirements ( click here for
pre-qualification details ) supported by the DTI.
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 1400 plus clients range
from large central government departments to Local Authorities,
Universities / Further Education and NHS Trusts (portal

and Constructionline helps them to achieve best value
objectives.

Benefits for contractors and consultants
-
saves you time by reducing the administrative
burden of repeatedly filling in pre-qualification
questionnaires. You only have to register once and
then provide renewal information annually.
-
Registration is value for money
- fees start at £70 and are banded: against turnover
if you are a contractor; against the number of professional
and technical staff if you are a consultant.
The central database provides procurers
with online access to detailed, and regularly updated
information about you.
Size doesn't matter. Over half the companies
registered have a turnover of less than £500K and some
clients actively encourage the use of small companies.
