GIVE YOUR BUSINESS THE BEST
CHANCE AT WINNING TENDERS
WITH A CCF CONTRACTOR
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Every civil contracting business should have a Contractor Management System (CMS) in place.
A CMS is a one-stop-shop where all company policies and procedures in regards to Quality, Occupational Health and
Safety and Environmental Management are stored and kept. These procedures are an essential part of business for all
Civil Contractors, and at all times should be carefully followed to help ensure projects are completed to the highest
standards possible.
Implementing a Management System into your business ensures you can satisfy not only your own business needs, but
also the expectations of your clients.
It is now becoming a common pre-requisite that Civil Contractors have a Management System in place
before even being eligible to tender for civil construction projects, meaning if you don’t have one or your
existing one is not up to industry standards, you could be missing out on future contracts!
In addition, many clients now insist that a CMS is also independently certified by a third party.
Any Management System should be built around the Plan, Do, Check, Act cycle, and if followed will bring
about continuous improvement in your business.

Knowing and choosing the best CMS for your business can be confusing. CCF offer 2 separate types of Management
Systems for both large and small businesses meaning no matter what size your business, or what your specific needs
are, we can offer a Management System to best suit you.
Plus all CCF Management Systems are structured to generically meet the requirements of the Civil
Construction Management Code helping your business to gain industry certification.
