Sustainability – BDBF is committed to reducing its impact on the environment. Priorities include reducing energy consumption, zero waste to landfill, low energy fittings and materials which minimise our environmental impact. Tenderers should include in their application environmental credentials for themselves and on behalf of manufacturers that they work with. Details of manufacturers disposal and recovery programmes will be sought during the equipment selection process.
Publisher note: Due to the age of our buildings (around 200 years old), even with the renovations some restrictions of weight remain so this should be taken into consideration upon tender. Those invited to tender will be requested to supply details on warranties, delivery costs, initial set up, training and ongoing support. It will be essential that suppliers demonstrate no conflicts of interest. (MT Ref:227086)
