What next?

What if I don’t want to register on Constructionline?

Once a contract is advertised, you should forward a letter of interest to: Estates Directorate, Queen’s University Belfast, BT7 1NN.

The University will then advise on the proposed contract programme and ask you to forward your details, as outlined at www.constructionline.co.uk/static/suppliers/registered-supplier-resources.html, directly to Constructionline requesting a single project assessment of your company to ensure equality and consistency. Once this assessment has been completed and you are temporarily registered on Constructionline for the particular project, the normal selection procedures will apply.

The University wishes to point out this method of non-registered assessment is no guarantee of selection, and all registration costs must be covered by the Contractor.  It should also be noted that non-registered assessment is on a project by project basis and does not pre-qualify the Contractor for selection for future tenders.
