_v 13 October 2003 (3)
520 _aThe National Federation of Builders (NFB)has launched a new accreditation scheme to help client groups and prime contractors to identify companies for partnering programmes. The Construction Accredited Partner Scheme (CAPS) will provide a register of independently accredited contractors with proven supply chain management and benchmarking expertise. It is hoped that the scheme will enable contractors to participate successfully in the new procurement routes being rolled out by Government. The DfES is due to announce an overhaul of the local authority construction programme. http://www.builders.org.uk/cgi-bin/nfb/newslist.pl?RUN=nfb.main.shownews&keyf=146
