Maintenance and Equipment (1)
Question No: 107 / 2012
Andrew Dismore
What discussions have been held with maintenance parts and equipment suppliers in light of the takeover of AssetCo?
Answer
The Head of Procurement has spoken with suppliers to AssetCo since the start of AssetCo’s financial difficulties in 2011to help ensure that AssetCo prioritised payments concerning the PFI contract. The Head Of Procurement has since confirmed with Lloyds Bank that all monies due to suppliers are released as a priority on receipt of the monthly Unitary Payment from the Brigade. There are no additional concerns about AssetCo’s ability to meet its contractual commitments to suppliers as a result of this share sale to AB&A.
