Like many public sector employers, the City of London maintains
lists of approved contractors and consultants so as to minimise
administration costs when inviting contractors and consultants to
tender. Companies included on these lists have been vetted to give
greater assurance that they are both financially stable and
technically competent to undertake such works.
The City Surveyor, in consultation with the Chamberlain and the
Town Clerk and Chief Executive, is responsible for managing the
approved list of contractors and consultants in the following work
categories
Contractors
Asbestos, electrical, general building, heating &
ventilation, lifts, painting and decorating.
Consultants
Architects, building surveying, building services engineers,
civil engineers, clerks of works, quantity surveyors, planning
supervisors and structural engineers.
Engineering
Demolition and highway construction.
However, from time to time the City of London
uses contractors / consultants who are not on the approved
list due for example, to the specialist nature, geographic location
of the work or for projects that are subject to EU regulations.
The City of London has introduced the Alito Procurement
System (APS). It is a comprehensive e-procurement solution used to
manage contractors/consultants, tenders and contracts. APS is an
integrated software package that consists of the following three
modules.
Supplier Database - provides the City with a
central contractor / consultant registration system.
Tender Management Module - supports
administration of the tendering process.
Contract Management - integrates with the
Supplier Database and Tender Management Module to capture and
report on the performance of contractors/consultants.

Unfortunately, the list is currently closed and no applications
are being considered.
Any queries relating to the operation of the lists should be
addressed to the City Surveyor, City of London, PO Box 270,
Guildhall, EC2P 2EJ.
