SGW are delighted to announce that we’re now an accredited supplier to Bloom. Delivering the Nepro neutral vendor solution, Bloom specialises in bringing together a community of buyers and suppliers to help the public sector buy professional services better. It’s opening up procurement.
That means any member or associate member of NEPO may request a proposal or call off SGW’s services through the Nepro solution for the following categories:
Second Category – Facilities Management and Catering – Sub Category; Property Security
NEPRO lets buyers access a large, dynamic community of pre-accredited suppliers who have been vetted against strict criteria, verifying the capability to deliver in the chosen category.
Buyers start with assistance to create a quality specification and then select the best supplier for each project, through the use of a mini-competition or for each project, based on a compliant process.
On average, buyers using NEPRO save 17% against budget.
SGW have already delivered two separate Public Space Surveillance CCTV consultancy assignments to a local authority who decided to use Bloom to buy professional services. The assignments provided for a delapidation survey and assessment of a local authority town centre and social housing CCTV system, a service review and a feasibility study to assess the implications around the relocation of a CCTV control room.
