Frame Agreement

Known cost, elevated service, cost savings without commitment.

Read More

For many of our customers a known tariff of rates gives confidence to forecast expenditure and manage their own compliance effectively.

SSI allocates a dedicated focal point of contact for all customers that subscribe to a frame agreement service with a forecast annual requirement.

SSI monitor expiration dates and provide follow up services to close out any post attendance requirements. A framework agreement allows an ongoing non exclusive relationship and continuity of service from year to year.

OPTION 3

Flat Rate Agreement

Payment plan. Dedicated Customer Account Coordinator.

Read More

With an SSI Flat rate agreement we are able to divide the known costs of compliance into lower and consistent monthly or quarterly payments.

By consulting with customers we shall identify the bespoke inclusive elements of contract and preferred duration. For any requirments beyond the known inclusive items we provide a competitive tariff of rates.

By allocating a dedicated Customer Account Coordinator, SSI is able to take much of the compliance burden from customers. A combination of dedicated personnel and industry leading software allows SSI to track expiry dates or escalating condition based concerns.

SSI becomes a working partner and meets with customers at a pre-set interval to ensure excellent communication.
