process
from project registration
to delivery & completion
Our '100% compliant 0% fat' approach means that whilst we never compromise on compliance, we always seek to simplify & streamline the process !
REGISTRATION
> client just has to fill in blue section of project registration form (leave fields blank if not yet known)
> only top level info is needed if bidder/s are aware of the project or will get info from another source
SELECTION OF SYSTEM
> client has option to direct award the contract to any system
CHOICE OF INSTALLERS
> installer/s must be approved by the chosen system supplier, and registered on DPS (see registry)
> it's a simple process to register new installers (typically it takes about a week)
> only limitation is quality - installers need certification & track record - we won't lower the bar
SELECTION OF INSTALLER
> client has option to direct assign the contract to any installer, or run a mini-tender
> if a min-tender is selected, clients control who & how many they shortlist
> it tends to be a mix of system supplier recommendations & client's "known & trusted"
EOI
> B2G gets both the system supplier & installer/s to counter-sign the project registration form
> if clients specify a portal, we also confirm bidders' credentials for that portal
> we send signed PDFs from all participants to the client, for your 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 provide advice or support or market test quotes as required or requested
> BUT we don't impose or interfere, leaving our clients free to manage the project
REGISTRATION
> client just has to fill in blue section of project registration form (leave fields blank if not yet known)
> only top level info is needed if bidder/s are aware of the project or will get info from another source
SELECTION & SHORT LISTING
> clients have option to direct award any contractor on the framework, or run a mini-tender
> with a mini-tender clients control who & how many they shortlist using their own criteria
> B2G can also help short list based on preferences supplied to B2G by each supplier
(eg. regional focus, project value, third party credentials & skillsets (re additional works etc)

RUNNING MINI-TENDER
> client prepares tender pack & runs tender using their own preferred portal & docs
> B2G is on hand to suppport & advise & market test quotes upon request
CONTRACT & PAYMENT
> contract is agreed & signed by winning contractor & client authority (eg JCT, NEC, PPC etc)
> contractor invoices client as agreed (eg. staged and/or final account)
> both contractor & client must notify B2G each time an invoice is presented, to remain compliant
> B2G invoices contractor @ 1% of net value of all invoices unless otherwise advised, nb. clients can opt to pay the levy themselves. This must be confirmed at project registration so that (a) bidders quotes are exclusive of levy, and (b) B2G can be set up as a supplier/vendor on client accounts systems
