Survey reveals construction buyers slow to adopt PAS91

摘要

The majority of construction buyers are yet to adopt PAS91 despite growing awareness of the tool, according to a report from Constructionline. The BIS-Capita partnership surveyed 157 construction services buyers about the Government's standardised pre-qualification tool, which aims to reduce costs and prevent the duplication of pre-qualification data. While over half of those surveyed (57 per cent) said they were familiar with PAS91,56 per cent have not adopted it as a means of pre-qualifying suppliers. Just under half (46 per cent) claimed that a lack of understanding was preventing them from taking it on. Constructionline director Philip Prince said that while the growing awareness is a promising start for PAS91, it needs a push from the wider construction industry in order to ensure its adoption.
