3.3 Temporary works procedures
3.3.7
A company should be able to make a self-assessment of its compliance with the requirements
in BS 5975-1:2024 without the need for a third-party acreditation sevice such as a Recognised
Assessment Body under the umbrella of the Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP). The
guidance below can be used to assist organsiations in assessing their own procedures.

Use this TWf guidance to
assess your companies’
processes
TW21.081 TWf Information
Sheet No 13 Pre-qualification
questionnaires provides a list
of sample questions relating
specifically to temporary
works procedures to
supplement PAS 91.
PAS 91 was a standardised
pre-qualification
questionnaire (PQQ) designed
to simplify the bidding
process in construction.
Developed by the British
Standards Institute (BSI), it
was introduced in 2010 to
reduce the burden of
completing multiple, unique
pre-qualification
questionnaires for different
clients. The BSI withdrew PAS
91 in 2023, meaning it will no
longer be updated.
The Common Assessment
Standard comprises an
industry-agreed question set
and corresponding
assessment standards for the
pre-qualification of suppliers.
Companies apply to a
Recognised Assessment Body
under the umbrella of the
Safety Schemes in
Procurement (SSIP) for the
certification level that is most
appropriate for their business
based on a range of factors.
Consider this:
1. Who in your company issues pre-qualification questionnaires (PQQ) to
designers and contractors?
2. Who in your company assesses pre-qualification questionnaires (PQQ)
received from designers and contractors?
3. Do you PQQs have any questions relating to temporary works
procedures?
