Health & safety assessment contract

Altius Vendor Assessment has won
a five-year contract extension to
manage health and safety
assessment and supply chain
compliance for SGP Property and
Facilities Management.

SGP, which manages 45,000 sites
on behalf of clients such as NCP,
Pizza Hut, Superdrug and Arcadia
Group, first partnered with Altius in
2008 to introduce an online supplier
assessment and accreditation system
that would ensure high standards
from contractors working on clients’
premises. SGP MD Kevin Elliott
said: “The dynamic functionality of
the Altius assessment programme
has made an important impact on
our business, reducing risk for our
clients and to our own business.”
Gary Plant, MD of Altius, added:
“Our flexible, evidenced-based
system tailors assessment to the
actual work that the supplier
undertakes and the risk they
present, so that only the essential
information is requested of the
supplier.”
