Questions
Does Edge approve a tender or award?
The procuring institution and its authorised officials retain procurement decisions. Edge supplies the agreed evidence, technical and economic analysis within that process.
Can specialist testing be included?
Required inspections, tests and certifications are identified during scoping and assigned to the appropriate qualified or authorised parties.
Is the programme limited to buses?
It can be scoped for other public working fleets and mobile equipment, such as municipal service vehicles, where the duty and acceptance requirements can be defined.
