Highways Agency aims to reward good operations managementThe UK's Highways Agency has announced the launch of a new initiative aimed at recognising those suppliers that deliver more efficient services.

Companies that drive down costs for the organisation in the maintenance, improvement and operation of roads in England will be rewarded with a non-financial honour.

A deadline for entries of September 1st has been set, with the award intended to highlight those businesses demonstrating continuous improvement and good operations management.

"We hope the recognition scheme will encourage a more effective, professional, and diverse supply chain," said David Poole, director of procurement for the Highways Agency.

Small firms, joint ventures and larger organisations will be eligible for the annual supplier recognition scheme, with nominees divided into categories entitled supply chain management, health and safety, managing down cost/improving value, delivering sustainable value and solutions and building and sustaining capacity.

The Highways Agency is a Department for Transport executive body charged with management of the strategic road network.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800635546-ADNFCR
