Supply Chain Process
Within our Supply chain PQQ form we ask questions based on your basic company details, capabilities, Health & Safety, Environmental, Quality, Insurance details and references. We will also ask you to read through and comply with our policies and code of conduct.
Once your PQQ has been submitted it will be reviewed by our Supply Chain Manager and our Health & Safety Manager. Once received we will review, validate, and approve your application or contact you if they require any further information.
Once your application has been approved you will be listed as a member of our supply chain.
You will start to receive tender opportunities and regular updates on Francis and our future workload.
All of our supply chain partners are monitored throughout the duration of a project.
At the end of each project, we review the performance of each supply chain partner, scoring them against a set number of measured criteria. This is then uploaded to the supply chain database and reviewed within our Supply Chain Working Group.
These scores are fed into our subcontractor database and reflect the company’s ability to be used on future projects. A ‘RAG traffic light’ status is used, where amber issues are to be addressed in a fixed time frame and red issues result in removal from our approved list.
We are committed to applying fair and transparent payment terms for our supply chain – a key aspect of our supply chain partner relationships and the delivery of successful projects.
We recognise that prompt payment maintains cash flow and provides confidence, helping to secure investment and jobs.
We support the Construction Supply Chain Payment Charter and Prompt Payment Code, demonstrating our commitment to fair payment. Our standard purchase order payment terms are 30 days following the end of the month in which the goods and/or services were delivered. Contractual agreements also ensure that strict payment terms are adhered to.
We encourage our clients to adhere to the same principles.
