Subject to performance we seek to partner with a Supplier for a term of up to 5 years. We want a Supplier that is proactive, allocates staff resources efficiently, takes ownerships, meets deadlines and can demonstrate a dynamic approach to their work. It is important that the successful Supplier works collaboratively with us and has the flexibility to respond to urgent, reactive requests in addition to ensuring the programme of annual inspections is complete on time.
