The works will be delivered in any or all of 15 geographic sub areas of Devon and Somerset. Arrangement is used to provide a list of pre approved contractors across a range of 39 work categories and split across 10 geographic areas. This list is used throughout DCC and across a range of public sector users in order to produce names for separate procurements and streamline their due diligence processes.

Contractors will be appointed to the SLoAC based on achieving certain minimum standard through pass/fail questions. The award of specific projects will be subject to a competitive procurement process for each individual project. Only approved contractors on the SLoAC will get an opportunity to be selected to participate in a competitive processes when a need arises. To be approved, contractors must obtain and maintain accreditation from our Comprehensive Accreditation Service Provider.
