Know your assessment types

Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) Ltd is an umbrella organisation that promotes a minimum standard for health and safety assessments for suppliers which is backed by the HSE.

The primary aim of SSIP is to make pre-qualification simpler andreduce occupational health and safety assessment duplication. Holding an Assessment with an SSIP member scheme allows an organisation to demonstrate that they are operating safely and complying with UK and Irish health and safety legislation.

PAS 91 is a prequalification questionnaire (PQQ) system comprising a set of standardised question modules on core criteria essential to prequalification for construction tendering.

Developed by the British Standards Institute (BSI), the PAS91 PQQ modules provide a universally applicable system of assessing the capability of suppliers. These question modules allow clients to determine the suitability of potential contractors for projects based on their compliance across several core areas of risk management. PAS91 covers the following modules:

Module C1: Supplier Identity
Module C2: Financial Information
Module C3: Business & Professional Standing
Module C4: Health & Safety [module exemption in SSIP certification is held]
Module 01: Equal Opportunity & Diversity
Module 02: Environmental Management
Module 03: Quality Management
Module 04: Building information modeling [BIM]

Please note: The British Standards Institution (BSI) withdrew PAS 91, a pre-construction qualification questionnaire, in 2023. The withdrawal means that BSI will no longer maintain or promote the standard however some buyers continue to use PAS 91 as a basic level of compliance.

The Common Assessment Standard [CAS] is an accreditation designed to standardise the prequalification process, helping both clients and contractors improve supply chain efficiency and reduce supply chain risks.

The Common Assessment Standard builds on the PAS 91 prequalification questionnaire, helping contractors achieve compliance and mitigate risks across 10 areas.

Section 3: Corporate and Professional Standing
