SFG20's Succesful G Cloud Public Sector Tender

SFG20 has been named as a supplier on Crown Commercial Service’s G Cloud 13 framework. This framework helps public sector buyers procure software and services from a list of pre-approved suppliers. 

The online framework is operated by Crown Commercial Service (CCS) which is an agency of the Cabinet Office set up to help the public sector achieve maximum commercial value when procuring specific goods and services. It helped specifiers achieve commercial benefits equal to £2.8 billion in 2021/22.
 

The G-Cloud means any public sector procurer can buy cloud-based software and services faster than if they set up individual contracts. It also gives them access to the latest cloud technology and innovation from pre-approved suppliers, with agreed terms and conditions and legal protections already in place.

“More than 80% of the value of a building is realised during its operating life, which is why strategic and targeted facilities maintenance is such an important consideration for any asset manager,” said SFG20 Managing Director, Kirsty Cogan.

“Being accepted onto G-Cloud 13 means it will now be easier and quicker for public sector procurers to gain access to this valuable tool along with the quality data needed to help them meet all of their FM goals.”

Safety & Health: Managing ventilation & air quality in workplaces

Building managers are facing detailed questions about how they are improving airflows to help dilute airborne viral loads, and what they are doing to improve relative humidity.

Professor Cath Noakes, ventilation specialist at University of Leeds and Engineer Member of the SAGE (Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies) spoke at a webinar hosted by the Building Engineering Services Association (BESA), stating that to ensure buildings are protected for the long-term, we cannot slip back into accepting poorly ventilated spaces with high levels of indoor contaminants.

While the pandemic greatly impacted everyone, there were further implications to those with suppressed immunity in high-risk environments, such as hospitals and the healthcare sector. Learn more ...
