Partners who share our standards
Every project depends on the quality of the people and businesses on site. We set clear expectations for suppliers and subcontractors around safety, quality, labour standards, materials and ESG so everyone understands what good looks like before work starts.
We prefer to build long term relationships. That means investing time in prequalification, onboarding, briefings and feedback. It also means being honest about performance so improvements can be made and issues do not repeat from one project to the next.
Clear expectations and shared standards make it easier for our partners to plan, price and deliver work safely in live, critical environments.
What we expect from our supply chain
Safety first
Safe systems of work, competent supervision and a willingness to stop and re plan if conditions are not safe or as expected.
Quality and workmanship
Workfaces that are tidy and coordinated, installations that meet drawings and specifications and defects owned and closed out promptly.
Labour and modern slavery controls
Legitimate labour, fair treatment and transparent labour supply routes with documentation available for audit when needed.
Materials and traceability
Products and materials that meet specifications, with certificates and traceability where required for safety and compliance.
Respect for live environments
Behaviour and controls that respect patients, staff, neighbours and building users and minimise nuisance, noise and disruption.
Openness and collaboration
Honest reporting of progress and issues, willingness to share ideas and to work with us on solutions rather than working in isolation.
