We are delighted to invite you to join us in celebrating a major milestone: 30 years of partnership between the UVDB and Achilles Information Ltd.
Since 1996, the UVDB has stood as one of the longest running, collaboratively governed supplier pre-qualification communities in the UK utilities sector. This anniversary reflects the strength of our partnership, the trust placed in UVDB by buyers and suppliers, and the way the system has continuously evolved alongside regulatory and industry change.
Over the past three decades, the UVDB has:
- Supported transparent, compliant and efficient procurement across the utilities sector
- Maintained a stable, buyer-led governance model through the Steering Group
- Adapted to major regulatory frameworks, from early utility procurement rules through to UCR 2016 and now the Procurement Act 2023
- Provided a genuinely community-driven approach to supplier qualification and assurance
We would be honoured to have you join us as we celebrate this shared achievement and look ahead to the next chapter.
