Suppliers may be sourced through the UVDB for anything from a one-off purchase to contract and framework agreements, for values ranging from several thousands to many millions of pounds.
UVDBverify is a standardised Safety, Health, Environment and Quality assessment - operated on behalf of subscribing utilities and suppliers and contractors - comprising an agreed set of qualification criteria against which they assess their contractors and suppliers.
In the Alfa Laval case, assessments were carried out at their UK HQ in Camberley and at a selected Sewage Treatment Works where they have supplied and maintain the sludge dewatering plant.
According to the assessment Alfa Laval employs "Well-structured Safety, Health, Environmental and Quality management systems" and scored particularly heavily for its H and S and Quality procedures, with a 100% rating for quality achieved on site.
