Moore Environment have finally achieved registration with Select Accredit Supplier Accreditation service run by BIP Select. This indicates that we have met the required standards for public and private sector procurement in our selected categories of Environmental Impact Assessment for construction, Environmental impact assessment (EIA) services for construction and landscape architecture. The process was lengthy but comprehensive but validates our processes, policies, technical skills and financial background to a recognised standard.
The process also threw up something entirely unexpected and potentially very damaging to our reputation. the credit check carried out by BIP Select using one of the leading companies revealed incorrect information on our company credit report. On the one hand it was lucky we found out, on the other hand immensely stressful and time consuming to prove it was incorrect.
It is very disturbing that this can happen - and it must happen to others. Finding ways into and through the various systems that make up the credit check world to prove the information is wrong and have it corrected is complex and challenging.
The quickest way to challenge information is to send a written query to the credit check company - they have 28 days to respond. It is then essential to make sure the other agencies are not using the same incorrect data - so contact them as well. It is also important that the credit agency advise any organisations who have done a search on your company of the error - to avoid any damage to trading. They are not necessarily happy to do this.
We are still going through that particular process................
