Contract Monitoring

The Council is continuously striving to improve its own performance and it expects contractors to do the same. There are procedures in place for monitoring the performance of all main contractors and sub-contractors carrying out works for the Council. All companies are monitored to assess their compliance with pre-defined performance criteria. You should be aware that Contract Conditions are to be strictly adhered to especially with regard to quality, health and safety and general performance.

The Approved List

Worcestershire County Council maintains an Approved List of Contractors and consultants from which companies are selected to tender for works that fall below EU thresholds by Property Services.

When Council Departments require works to be carried out under EU thresholds they will use the Approved List to obtain the names of suitable firms that they can approach to tender. Tenderers are chosen on a selection/rotation basis, although Council Officers are able to nominate companies based on their previous quality of work and tendering performance.

If your company would like to apply for a place on the Council's Approved List you are required to go through an application process to verify your suitability. In the first place, you should write to
