Getting onto an approved supplier list is only the beginning. Insurance expires, certifications lapse, businesses change and supplier performance evolves. If a supplier was approved one, two or even five years ago, how confident are you that they still meet your requirements today? We explore why supplier approval should be an ongoing process rather than a one time exercise.

From 1st October 2026, the Building Safety Levy will introduce a new cost for many residential developments in England, with funds contributing towards the remediation of historic building safety defects. While the levy is payable by developers rather than suppliers, additional development costs inevitably raise questions about budgets, procurement and supply-chain pressure. We look at what is changing, who the levy affects and why strong supply-chain management will become even more important.

Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important part of doing business in construction. Whether you're responding to a pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ), working towards Net Zero or strengthening your environmental credentials, clients are increasingly asking suppliers to demonstrate their sustainability performance. The Mobilize Sustainability Assessment has been designed to make that process simple. Rather than completing different sustainability questionnaires for multiple clients, suppliers complete a single structured assessment that measures their sustainability performance, records supporting evidence and provides instant feedback on where they are performing well and where improvements can be made. The same assessment can then be viewed by participating supply chain owners, reducing duplicated effort. In this guide, we'll explain how to register, complete your assessment and make the most of the information it provides.
