Policies and terms for our suppliers - Metropolitan Thames Valley

We continue to deliver long term infrastructure and social improvements and we would like to share our strategic themes with you:

Deliver, to a high level of consistency, a series of customer offerings suited to individual products and services;
Grow the number of social outcomes that we are able to deliver;
Develop better and more integrated services and products that match the needs of a changing society and economic context. These should be supported by a clear methodology to prioritise financial resources and measure the social impact they have.

We recognise that political change affects the social/economic environment in which we operate. One of our strategic business objectives is to achieve significant improvements in the cost of delivery and we aim to work more closely with our suppliers to ensure we can deliver these goals together.

In support of this we have a number of policies (please see below), which all our suppliers are expected to commit to.
