Association of Colleges

On average every person in the UK uses 147 litres per day. This is wasteful and unsustainable. You can now combat this problem by commissioning a water course survey to be carried out at your College to verify your bills are correct and look at reducing consumption to increase efficiency and consider a long-term strategy for using water more responsibly.

Karen Stanwell at Bourneville College recently had a survey carried out after she was contacted by a company called Cadantis, she recalls;

“The company offer a ‘no win no fee’ service, and the process is pretty pain free – all I had to do was provide 12 months invoices." The College are awaiting their final report from the company, but initial feedback is that the results look promising.

There are also a number of other Colleges across the sector who have been involved at one stage or another. Colleges have reported that in some cases retrospective claims can be made to water companies where charges have been incorrect – so definitely worth considering.

If you’d like to know more about the water course surveys please contact one of the AoC Procurement Development Team.
