The Highways Agency
ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESS THE P & I WAY
January 2009
P & I Generators Ltd in Havant, Hampshire have secured a major contract with The Highways Agency to provide emergency 40kVA generator sets for an initial 24 of its Regional Control Centre (RCC) Outstations across the country. The Highways Agency is an executive agency of the Department for Transport. They manage, maintain and improve England's motorways and major A roads on behalf of the Secretary of State.
Procurement at the Agency drew up a tender with the requirements to install emergency power to all of the outstations that are vulnerable to a power failure and ensure the continuity of operations. P &I will supply, deliver, install and commission as well as maintain during the warranty period all 24 sets in the Annex provided, within the 12 hour response time stipulated by The Highways Agency.
P & I Generators Ltd have evolved over the last 10 years offering nationwide service, installation and hire of all types and makes of diesel and gas powered generators and UPS systems in the range 5kW to 2MW. They provide an emergency call out service 24 hours a day 365 days a year for fault diagnosis and repair, with an average 3.5 hour response time for UK mainland contract customers.
Reassuring factors obviously help in securing the trust of their customers so the fact that P & I are an AMPS and OFTEC registered company and currently hold ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental) and government approved CHAS (health and safety) certification must impress. They also hold their own quality, environmental, health and safety and diversity policies which are stringently adhered to.
New Contracts Manager at P & I Mr. Jonathan Terzza says: "This contract is amazing news for P & I in such times of worldwide economic frailties. I believe it was not the work of one person that secured this contract but the coming together of our highly motivated and dedicated team."
Having met with The Highways Agency Project Manager and Project Officer, P & I are extremely confident of the success and operation of this project, and look forward to an ongoing relationship with the Agency for the foreseeable future.
