🌟 Community Clean-Up Initiative in Llanelli 🌟 Our Housing team has been actively working in the Llanelli area over the past few weeks to tidy up the community and prevent fly-tipping on our sites. 🏡✨ In collaboration with Carmarthenshire County Council, we organised an educational recycling day for residents. The event featured discussions on reducing fly-tipping, talks about mixed waste recycling, and valuable feedback on how to make future improvements. ♻️💬 We also distributed energy-saving packs, household cleaning products, and toiletries, which were warmly received by the community. 🌿🧴 The events have been a tremendous success, with a fantastic turnout from local residents.

Fire Safety Success Story: A recent incident at one of our properties underscores the importance of early warning systems. A toaster was accidentally activated by items stored on top of it, posing a potential fire hazard. Fortunately, the AICO 3000 series detector quickly alerted the tenant to the danger. The tenant was able to remove the toaster from the property before any damage occurred. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of fire safety across all our properties. Our detectors are installed in compliance with BS5839-6, the standard for fire detection and fire alarm systems in buildings. We encourage our tenants to test any alarms in their homes on a regular basis. Don't wait for #TestItTuesday #HomeSafety #FireSafety #Safety #TestYourAlarms

📢 Procurement is changing due to new legislation, technological advancements, and a focus on sustainability. ❗ From today, February 24th, the #ProcurementAct is now in force. The new regulations aim to make procurement more proactive, prioritising local suppliers wherever possible and ensuring a transparent process. Key opportunities include: - Focus on a wider, holistic value, not just price. The move to Most Advantageous Tender will ensure that procurement decisions aren’t based solely on cost. This approach opens the door for suppliers to showcase the wider social and environmental impact of their efforts, and creates greater opportunities to deliver social, environmental and cultural benefits for communities across Wales. - Flexible procedures. A new competitive flexible procedure will enable Welsh contracting authorities to identify and adopt commercial best practices from across sectors, which will help to improve outcomes, drive innovation and maximise value for money - Stronger stakeholder collaboration Opportunities for early supplier involvement and greater input from end-users will help to shape procurement processes - Encouraging innovation From procuring innovative solutions to adopting cutting-edge procurement practices, this Act is an opportunity to improve efficiency and enhance transparency in Welsh public sector procurement. Caredig has been working on getting ready for these changes, but if you are a supplier, you can read more information here https://lnkd.in/ecR_5swJ
