Subcontractors FAQs
Do I need to be approved before working with Axis CLC?
Yes. All subcontractors are reviewed to ensure they meet our standards for quality, safety, and compliance before joining the Axis CLC network.
What trades are you currently looking for?

How do I register as a subcontractor?
You can register your details through our subcontractor application process here.
What are your payment terms?
We value our people and believe in the importance of ensuring all of our partners are paid correctly and on time. All suppliers are paid on a 30-day term against the invoice date. Subcontractors can choose:
- 30 days with 2.5% Early Payment Discount
- 14 days with 5% Early Payment Discount
Some of Axis CLC’s divisions and contracts may carry different terms, but these would be negotiated before work starts.
What accreditations and verifications are needed to become a subcontractor?
All of our subcontractors must provide CIS verification for all company partners and give evidence of any assessments of accreditations that the business has passed (CHAS, Safe Contractor, Exor etc.).
Businesses must also provide their Health and Safety Policy, in addition to information about who is responsible for Health and Safety. Risk assessments are also required during the application process.
For services that include any aspect of gas, electrics, asbestos or scaffolding, businesses must also demonstrate the associated trades and confirm to the credential to supply them. Businesses providing these services must also ensure that their operatives have the valid qualifications for their relevant trade. These are stated specifically for Gas (Gas Safe), Electric (NECCEIC) or Scaffold (CISRS).
All businesses wishing to subcontract for Axis CLC must also ensure that any operative or subcontractors working on behalf of Axis CLC have been DBS checked. Anyone carrying out onsite work on behalf of Axis CLC must also possess a valid CSCS card that is carried at all times when working with us.
We also ask that all businesses joining our subcontractor fleet support our Training Levy, whereby 2% is deducted from all payments. This pool of funds contributes to training and apprenticeship programmes which play a crucial role in our work to tackle the labour shortage.
