process
from project registration
to delivery & completion
Our "100% compliant, 0% fat" approach means we always seek to simplify, but never skimp on compliance!
REGISTRATION
> client just has to fill in blue section of project registration doc (leave fields blank if not yet known)
> only top level info required if bidder/s are aware of project or will get info from another source
> if client confirms portal then B2G confirms bidders' IDs (so invites & tender docs reach bidders)
CHOICE OF INSTALLERS
> installers must be registered on the B2G DPS (registry is online) and B2G can provide extract
> it's a simple process to register new installers (24 hours has been done, but a week is typical)
> only limitation is quality - they need certification & track record - we won't lower the bar
SHORT LISTING
> client controls who & how many on shortlist
> tends to be a blended list of supplier's recommendations & client's "known & trusteds"
> client also has option to direct assign to installer where preferred (eg. urgency, repetition etc)
EOI
> B2G gets list from client; & arranges for both system supplier & installer/s to counter-sign
> we need counter-signature from both system supplier and installer/s for compliance
> we send signed PDFs from all participants to the client, for your compliance records
Apart from the project reg doc we add no more docs or steps and it's over to you...
LEVY
> installer/s must factor B2G's 1% levy into their quoted price
> system supplier does not include levy in their price to the installer
> system supplier invoices installer (as usual) just like any other sub-contractor
RUNNING MINI-TENDER
> client prepares tender pack & runs tender using their own preferred portal & docs
> system supplier provides design & site survey info (as per client instruction)
> B2G is on hand to suppport & advise & market test quotes upon request
CONTRACT & PAYMENT
> contract is signed by installer direct with client authority (eg JCT, NEC, PPC etc)
> installer invoices client (both installer & client must declare to B2G to be compliant)
> B2G invoices installer @ 1% on net value of all invoices
MONITORING
> we monitor every project from registration through to delivery & completion
> we also remain on hand to provide advice or support as required or requested
> BUT we don't impose or interfere, leaving our clients free to manage the project
