Become an Approved Supplier
The Council has an Approved Lists of Contractors (ALOC) available for officers to select suppliers from. These cover a range of disciplines in the building and highways works and services sectors.
In many of these areas the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 will apply, which means that the Council needs to ensure that the contractor undertaking the work meets certain competences. Contractors on the ALOC will have gone through a number of checks to ensure that they meet the Council's requirements which include:
- Competency check of their ability to do the work.
- Health & Safety competency check (a contractor must hold CHAS compliant status to be active on the ALOC).
- Financial checks where required so that they can carry out work over £75,000 in value.
- Checks to ensure that the necessary insurance is in place.
- Check they hold membership or accreditation with appropriate trade bodies.
To join the ALOC, contractors will need to register free on the Supplier and Contract Management System (SCMS) by visiting their website - http://scms.alito.co.uk.
