Get eligible for the bigger jobs you're currently locked out of.

For small subcontractors in and around London who can do the work, but keep hitting the paperwork wall: accreditations, insurance levels and PQQs. Get eligible, stay eligible, and stop paying twice for the same paperwork.

Tell me the size of job you're aiming for

I'll reply with what main contractors usually ask for at that level. No charge, no strings.

What changed this autumn, and what it means for you

These changes are only weeks old. The firms that prepare now walk into their next assessment ready. The rest find out on the day.

1. The Common Assessment Standard has changed (November 2026)

Build UK has published Version 6 of the Common Assessment Standard, the pre-qualification standard used by many of the UK's biggest main contractors and frameworks. Among the changes:

Building safety is now "opt out", not "opt in". You must complete it unless you confirm in writing that you do no work regulated by the Building Regulations.
Competence questions are now compulsory for every supplier.
Fraud prevention, a named person responsible for quality, and a drugs and alcohol policy are now mandatory for all companies.
Cyber Essentials Plus no longer exempts you from the information security section. Only ISO 27001 does.

2. Some SMAS certificates have been withdrawn (October 2026)

SSIP, the body behind health and safety pre-qualification schemes, has confirmed that SMAS certificates issued during a period affected by an accreditation suspension were formally withdrawn and should not be relied on. A replacement needs a successful reassessment. If you hold SMAS, check that the certificate on the SSIP Portal is current.

3. Main contractors have drawn a line

In 2025, 17 of the UK's top contractors told their supply chains that without the Common Assessment Standard, including its building safety section, a business would be "unable to tender for work". The standard has only got more demanding since.

4. You may be paying twice

Renewal fees keep rising, and many firms hold more than one scheme because different contractors asked for different ones. Sometimes that's necessary. Often it isn't.

Not sure where you stand? Email me the accreditations you hold and I'll tell you what these changes mean for you. No charge, no strings.

Tell me what you hold

You can do the work. The paperwork is what stops you.

You know you could handle the bigger job. Then the pre-qualification form arrives asking for Constructionline Gold, a £10 million insurance limit, an environmental policy and three case studies. Or you never hear back, and never find out why.

CHAS, SMAS, Constructionline, SSIP, CAS. From the outside they all look the same, and nobody tells you which one actually opens the door to the size of job you want. So you guess, pay for the wrong thing, or keep bidding on the same size of job you always have.

There's no single published list of what each size of job requires. Every main contractor and every tender sets its own bar. That's exactly the gap I fill.

The Tender Readiness Audit

Before you spend a penny on accreditations, find out exactly what's standing between you and the next size of job.

Stop guessing. Know exactly what the jobs you're aiming for usually require, so you don't pay for the wrong certificate.
Stop paying twice. See which accreditations the contractors you want to work for actually accept, and which ones you can drop.
Be ready for the new questions in the updated Common Assessment Standard before your next assessment, not on the day.
See every gap in one place. What you already have, what's missing, and what each gap costs in time and money.
Close the right gaps first. A clear order of work, so the things that unlock jobs come before the nice-to-haves.
Walk into your next PQQ with confidence, knowing you'll get past the first check.
Be the firm the big contractors take seriously, not the one filtered out before anyone has even looked at your work.

How it works

Book a 20-minute call so I can hear what you have and what you're aiming for.
I check your accreditations, insurance, policies and turnover against what the contractors and jobs you're targeting actually ask for.
You get a written gap report: what's missing, what it costs, and what to do first.
A review call to walk you through it and answer your questions.

What I promise, and what I don't

I'll get you eligible to bid for the jobs you're currently shut out of. That part I can deliver.

What I can't promise is that you'll win them. Winning still comes down to your price, your capacity and your track record. Eligibility gets you through the door. The rest is yours, and you're clearly good at it, or you wouldn't be thinking about bigger jobs.

Who I am

I'm Eve Alozie, and I run a business consultancy. My background is in real estate and financial services, and my work has always come down to one thing: helping businesses make more money by finding what's holding them back and fixing it.

Bigger Jobs brings that to the paperwork that keeps good trades off bigger, better-paid contracts. I do the reading, the checking and the comparing, so you can stay on the tools and focus on winning the work.

Founding clients: half price

The audit is normally ~~£600~~. Founding clients pay £300.

I'm taking on three founding clients at half price in exchange for honest feedback and a short testimonial. Places close when three are booked.

My guarantee: if the report doesn't give you a clear, usable route to the size of job you're aiming for, tell me and I'll refund you in full.

Questions people ask

Couldn't I just do this myself?

You could, and some of it is a search away. What you're paying for is not having to guess, and not finding out you were missing something after you've already lost the bid.

I already have CHAS. Is this for me?

Possibly. One basic scheme often covers smaller jobs, but bigger contracts tend to ask for more. The audit shows whether what you have is enough for the jobs you want next.

When can we talk?

Calls are booked ahead at a time that suits you. Start by email and we'll find a slot.

Do you work outside London?

I'm based in London and the work is done remotely, so you don't need to be local.

Every PQQ you can't pass is a job that goes to someone else.

The real cost isn't the audit. It's another year bidding on the same size of job.

Here's the first step: email me the size of job you're aiming for. I'll come back to you within one working day with what main contractors usually ask for at that level. No charge, no strings.

P.S. Founding places at £300 are limited to three. If bigger jobs are where you want to be next year, send that email today.
