Constructionline is the UK’s largest register of local and national pre-qualified construction and construction-related services. It offers commercial gains to the construction industry as a whole by supplying public and private sector procurers with a single national pre-qualification scheme, improving efficiency and streamlining procedures for all. Set up in 1998 in response to Sir Michael Latham’s 1994 report on modernising the construction industry ("Constructing the Team"), Constructionline is designed to streamline procurement procedures, reducing supplier and client costs and wasted time and effort at the pre-qualification stage, rendering the construction industry more efficient and effective.
