Approved lists for works contracts
How we select building contractors using the ConstructionLine database.
The council is now using ConstructionLine, a database of pre-qualified building contractors set up by the government, for its approved lists for works.
Small works under £25k
Small works lists are produced every quarter by the Property & Design team. All these contractors are local to Brighton & Hove, and have had their Health & Safety accreditation checked. To add your company to these lists contact Property & Design .
Works contracts £25k to £75k
The council's Property & Design team use a list of 400 local contractors set up within the ConstructionLine database. ConstructionLine will randomly select companies to be invited to tender, based on the type of work required.
Works contracts £75k to £3m
The same process is followed, but contractors are shortlisted from a nationwide list, then emailed to confirm their interest in tendering.
Works contracts over the EU threshold (currently £5,336,937)
These are subject to EU regulations, and advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union.
