ADAS – one of the top seeds again this year!

ADAS’ high Achilles Utilities Vendor Database (UVDB) Verify scores make it one of the top seeds in the environmental sector and you can benefit from our strong delivery team again this year.

The UVDB scheme enables companies to pre-qualify for tenders by supplying Achilles with information on financial performance, products and services and health, safety and environmental policies. Achilles then carry out a comprehensive audit to confirm the information provided.

Utility companies use this information to select suppliers to tender for services.

Suppliers like ADAS who join the prestigious UVDB Verify Scheme can by-pass pre-qualifying and go straight to tender stage which saves you time and money in the procurement process.

Utility Companies also know that the suppliers will have particularly high standards of services - particularly in relation to Health and Safety, the Environment and Quality.

As with the best tennis players, having a strong serve and a higher percentage of aces is a distinct advantage. In ADAS’ case, the aces are the percentages awarded to it under the UVDB Verify. In the 6 categories covered by UVDB Verify, ADAS’ scores range from 90.1% to 95.8% - a great percentage of “Aces”! The average Management Systems Evaluation (MSE) for all suppliers is 70.9%.

With a team of 450 highly qualified consultants our speed of delivery is impressive too and ADAS is able to meet the tight deadlines which are often required.

So even before the match begins, ADAS has one hand on the trophy. The other hand is that of our clients as they are winners too!
