ISOsafe can help your business achieve prequalification
ISOsafe help businesses Australia-wide to become pre-qualified or accredited contractors.
Being a prequalified contractor has many benefits, including, tender selection preference and generally, the process offers contractors an independent review of how well they are complying with legislative obligations.
In some instances, pre-qualified contractors are able to fast-track the tender application process (also referred to as an RFT or EOI) meaning they can wholly showcase their capabilities in each tender response.
Some local councils (Fairfield City Council, Ku-ring-gai Council and Shoalhaven City Council to name a few) require contractors to be prequalified through Conserve (BNG Contractor Services Pty Ltd). We have helped many businesses to comply with Conserve prequalification requirements.
There are many other pre-qualification schemes you may consider including:
Federal Safety Commissioner Scheme
Department of Public Works
Australasian Procurement and Construction Council Inc (APCC) - State and Territory Governments

The prequalification process is different for each program; however, many programs focus on Workplace Safety (WHS/OHS), ISO 9001, Environmental and Employment Relations compliance. With the help of ISOsafe you can streamline your contractor prequalification.

Work history
Insurances
Compliance record
Industrial Relations (IR)
Management systems (Quality, Safety and Environmental Management, as well as, NSW Procurement Guidelines including NSW OHSMS requirements)
Qualified staff
