Project Description
Our recent reappointment by CBMDC continues our long-standing relationship. For the past decade, we have consistently provided effective water hygiene services, successfully completing two previous five-year contracts. Our strong track record and unwavering dedication to quality and compliance played a significant role in securing this new contract.
Under this new agreement, our duties include:
- Conducting detailed water system risk assessments across all CBMDC properties
- Customising monitoring programmes to meet the specific needs of each site
- Performing regular inspections, testing and maintenance to ensure ongoing compliance
- Offering comprehensive reporting and documentation for clear and transparent communication
Driven by quality
Quality was a key focus in the tender process, with 70% of the overall score based on our technical expertise and service delivery capabilities. Our bid highlighted our ability to produce high-quality risk assessments that meet CBMDC’s strict standards. Additionally, our engineers underwent thorough evaluations during two monitored site visits where they demonstrated their skill and efficiency in water hygiene monitoring.
Our commitment
Our tender submission also underscored our commitment to delivering social value within the Bradford community. As part of the contract, we pledged to:
- Spend at least 40% of the contract's annual expenditure with businesses holding a Bradford (BD) postcode, supporting the local economy.
- Provide employability support, including CV advice, mock interviews and career guidance to at least one student per year from local schools and colleges.
- Dedicate eight hours annually to collaborate with CBMDC on proposals for future improvements.
- Contribute 25 hours per year to volunteering efforts that support community projects and activities within the Bradford district.
