FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
Lewis & Graves Partnership (L&G), part of the Atlas Group, has been appointed as a supplier on the Crescent Purchasing Consortium (CPC) framework for building cleaning services.
The nationwide framework has an estimated overall spend of £250 million.
CPC is a purchasing consortium, owned and run by the education sector, which provides specialist advice on the procurement of reliable, compliant, and best-value suppliers. Its main purpose is to produce purchasing frameworks, compliant with procurement regulations, to make the sourcing of goods and services easier for members, including schools, academies, multi-academy trusts (MATs), colleges and universities.
James Abbott, Operations Director, Lewis & Graves Partnership said: “I am very proud of the team who worked on the CPC framework bid. Due to their hard work, commitment and understanding of the client’s brief, L&G has gained access to all 16 lots nationwide, scoring an impressive 98.4 per cent for the submission, ranking us in first place.
“This is a massive achievement and shows that L&G with the support of Atlas are leaders in the Education sector. It will be a very busy year, and we are all ready for the challenges.”
Are you confident that your contractors and suppliers meet ethical labour standards and human rights obligations?
For many FM services, managing multiple third parties in the supply chain can be a complex challenge. And, in a sector that relies heavily on migrant workers and 65 per cent of FM services facing difficulties in sourcing workers (Q4 2022 RICS survey), exposure to exploitation and modern slavery is a very real risk. With the UK one of the biggest destinations in Europe for trafficking of workers, you need full visibility of the people you work with, so you can minimise your risks and identify which part of your supply chain is most vulnerable.
FMJ, in partnership with Alcumus, is pleased to bring together a panel of experts to discuss how to create an ethical supply chain in FM.
Taking place at 11am on Wednesday 21st of June, the webinar will discuss:
- The regulations to be aware of that are aimed at preventing human right abuses.
- How to gain greater visibility of modern slavery compliance in the supply chain by having a robust verification process in place.
- Steps to creating a compliant, ethical supply chain.
