Ensure compliance and confidence

With a Constructionline buyer package, you get access to:
Pre-qualified suppliers: Every contractor you engage with is capable, reliable, and safe.
Risk Radar: Our Risk Radar tool helps you make informed decisions by highlighting potential financial and non-financial risks in your public sector procurement supply chain. Additionally, Risk Radar is able to draw on in-depth data from sources such as the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Environment Agency (EA), giving you reliable, actionable insights. Our software is also able to flag up associated directorships, giving you added visibility to risks that may exist in any of your suppliers’ associated businesses.
Expertise in educational projects: Suppliers in our database are equipped to handle everything from minor refurbishments to large-scale construction projects.
Social Value reporting: Gain visibility into your supply chain’s Social Value credentials  to ensure compliance, ethical practices and enhance reputation. You’ll see where projects offer apprenticeships, pay, wellbeing and environmental benefits.
“We’ve recently started to use Risk Radar and are impressed by how in-depth the data is, in particular intelligence from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Environmental Agency (EA), incorporating insights on companies associated with directors. It saves us considerable time in drilling into other reports or searching around the web and other locations, to mitigate against financial distress further along the line of potential suppliers. Added to that the training and support from Constructionline was excellent and really helped us get off the ground quickly with this new solution.”
