What is the common assessment standard
For pre-qualification in public sector projects exceeding £5,337,000,000, the Common Assessment Standard CAS is now the preferred method.
The Common Assessment Standard has been introduced to reduce even further the need to complete numerous Pre-Qualification questionnaires. The CAS is an approved standard recognised by any member of Build UK.
