The South West Procurement Alliance (SWPA) have launched a new framework, Asset Safety and Compliance (ASC1). Asset Safety and Compliance (ASC1) has been developed following ongoing engagement and consultation with public sector organisations.
The framework overview
The Asset Safety & Compliance framework boasts a suite of disciplines providing a method to meet government guidelines regarding life safety, property protection and maintenance, access to a pool of consultancy and compliance-related expertise through a single framework and access to consultancy and surveying specialists for the management and removal of asbestos. Additionally, this framework provides access to expertise in property protection, water management, gas safety and heating servicing, asbestos, and electrical testing.
As with all our frameworks, we achieve this by striving to meet and exceed the “Gold Standard” for public sector construction frameworks. We pride ourselves on our long-standing commitment to early engagement and collaboration bringing specialist suppliers and public sector bodies together to guide framework development ensuring the best possible outcomes for the public sector and their communities.
Asset Safety and Compliance (ASC1) clearly demonstrates the benefits of early collaboration resulting in a comprehensive framework making high-quality specialist firms available to the public sector working together to improve asset and building safety for building occupants and communities. SWPA continues to fulfil our commitments to social value impacts increasing the public sector’s access to regional and local specialists, encouraging SME involvement, and driving economic uplift to regional areas with our clients and appointed companies, who are using the framework.
