PAS 91

PAS 91: 2013 Construction pre-qualification questionnaires (PQQ) replaces PAS 91: 2011. Developed by the British Standards Institution (BSI), it is a standardised pre-qualification questionnaire utilised in the UK construction industry to evaluate the suitability of contractors and suppliers for construction projects.

It covers essential areas such as health and safety, financial standing, environmental management, and quality management. By completing PAS 91, contractors and suppliers showcase their compliance with regulations and industry standards, aiding clients in their assessment of suitability. This specification streamlines procurement by standardising pre-qualification requirements, reducing duplication of effort, and promoting consistency and transparency in supplier selection.

PAS 91 sets out the questions and responses used for supplier assessment, ensuring governance, qualifications, expertise, competence, health and safety, environmental, financial, and other essential capabilities are adequately addressed.

Comments

Does anybody have any information about the PAS91 update? I knew the 2013 version was being reviewed with the intention of update .e.g. to include CDM 2015 changes but haven't heard anything for along time.

A draft version of PAS 91:2016 was due to be published at the end of 2016, but it does not seem to have emerged yet.

Any news on progress of PAS 91:2016?

The most recent advertised publication date was May 2017 - but this seems not to have happened.
