Subcontractor Compliance,
Under Control
Construction supply chains are complex, high-risk, and heavily regulated. My Supplier List gives principal contractors and tier-one builders a single platform to verify subcontractor competence, track insurance cover, and demonstrate CDM compliance across every project.
Why Construction Supply Chains Need Dedicated Management
Construction is one of the most regulated industries in the UK. The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 place explicit duties on principal contractors to verify that every organisation working on a project is competent, adequately resourced, and properly insured. Failure to do so does not just risk a fine from the Health and Safety Executive — it can result in project shutdowns, director disqualification, and criminal prosecution under the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007.
Yet most construction firms still manage subcontractor compliance through spreadsheets, shared drives, and email chains. Insurance certificates expire without anyone noticing. CSCS cards lapse between projects. Health and safety documentation sits in a folder that was last reviewed eighteen months ago. When an incident occurs and the HSE investigates, the question is not whether you had a process — it is whether you can prove that process was followed, consistently, for every subcontractor on every project.
My Supplier List replaces that patchwork with a single, auditable system. Every subcontractor is onboarded through a structured workflow that collects the documentation you need before they set foot on site: employer's liability insurance (minimum £10 million for most principal contractors), public liability cover, CSCS card verification, method statements, risk assessments, and compliance declarations. Documents are tracked with expiry dates and automatic renewal reminders, so your compliance team is never caught out by a lapsed certificate.
For organisations working across multiple projects and sites, the platform provides project-level supplier groupings so you can see which subcontractors are assigned to which job, track project-specific compliance requirements, and generate site-ready compliance packs for client audits and HSE inspections.

UK Construction Compliance Requirements
The construction industry is subject to specific legislation that requires documented supplier due diligence. My Supplier List covers all of these.
Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015
Principal contractors must ensure that organisations and individuals they appoint are competent and adequately resourced for the work. CDM 2015 requires documented assessment of competence before appointment.
Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
Section 3 places a duty on employers to conduct their undertaking in such a way as to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that persons not in their employment are not exposed to risks. This extends to subcontractor management.
Modern Slavery Act 2015
Construction is classified as a high-risk sector for modern slavery. Organisations with turnover above £36 million must publish an annual modern slavery statement covering their supply chain due diligence.
Bribery Act 2010
Section 7 creates a corporate offence of failing to prevent bribery by associated persons, which includes subcontractors. Adequate procedures require documented anti-bribery compliance in your supply chain.
