The grading helps to determine the maximum value a contractor can comfortably fulfil. A higher grading number means an increased limit to the tender value.
Grade 9, for example, means the contractor does not have a limit to the amount and value of work they can do and is the highest. On the other hand, there are no qualifying criteria for grade 1.
When grading between levels 2 and 9, the board looks at the projects a contractor has completed in the last 5 years and available capital. Contractors can be graded as sole proprietors, partnerships, companies, or corporations. The grading system is shown below.
Various forms are required to complete the registration process. You should ensure you fill out the appropriate form for your needs. The options you have are listed below.
