Trades working together to win bigger contracts.

A consortium is a group of trade companies that join together to bid for contracts too large for any single trade. Each company contributes their own compliance profile to a shared tender - giving clients confidence that every trade on the job is compliant.

How it improves your business
βœ“Bid for bigger contracts β€” combine trades into one compliant, multi-trade offer.
βœ“Win tenders you couldn't alone β€” matched to work that needs your combined skills.
βœ“Share the load β€” AI writes the joint bid from every member's profile.
βœ“One dashboard β€” every member's compliance in a single view.
🀝
Step 1

Form your consortium

One company creates the consortium and invites the other trades. Each company joins using their existing Complys account.

A scaffolder, roofer, decorator and builder can form a consortium to bid for a full building refurbishment. Each brings their own verified compliance.

πŸ“ˆCombine trades into one offer big enough to win larger contracts.

Step 2

Each trade contributes their compliance

Every company shares their compliance score, documents, accreditations and RAMS to the joint bid. The client sees one dashboard showing all trades.

If one company has a compliance gap, the lead company is notified so it can be resolved before submission.

πŸ“ˆOne shared compliance dashboard β€” no member drags the bid down.

Write the joint tender

AI generates a professional joint tender document pulling in the capabilities, compliance and experience of every trade in the consortium.

Step 5

Get found as a consortium

Your consortium appears in the Complys directory as a complete solution. Large contractors searching for multiple trades in one place can find you and see every company's compliance at once.

This is how small trades win contracts that usually go to large main contractors.
