Introduction
Constructionline is the UK register of pre-qualified local and national construction and related suppliers.
The concept of a single national database was proposed in 1994 Latham Report. Since then Constructionline has grown and been updated in line with the needs of modern procurement.
In Northern Ireland for all public sector construction work below the OJEU theshold, contractors must be registered with Constructionline.

Constructionline launches new data base
13 August 2009: Constructionline has now launched its new data base for Buyers and Suppliers. The new data base is much more user friendly and is currently being demonstrated to suppliers and buyers at a series of workshops.
The Federation will arrange a demonstration of the new data base during the Autumn round of Local Association meetings.
CEF now has access to Constructionline which may be used from time to time to check members details.
CONSTRUCTIONLINE - Template Advert for Construction Contracts
One of the most regular complaints we receive concerning Constructionline is the request in tender adverts for information already held by Constructionline such as trading accounts, insurances, etc.
In order to resolve these problems, the Federation proposed that there should be a standard template developed for all government clients that should be used when advertising to contractors.
That template has now been approved by the Central Procurement Directorate of the Department of Finance and Personnel and will be implemented forthwith.
