From the Paper:

"Kingsgrove was the first depot to adopt the use of alternative fuel in their buses. Currently, Kingsgrove has 104 buses powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). The fuel tanks are owned by STA and must be certified as safe and fit for their intended purpose as part of an ongoing maintenance routine. When the project first began there was only one supplier to perform these inspection services. However, due to a recent price increase, Kingsgrove now wishes to explore alternative suppliers for services. The following proposal explores the process for assuring that the new supplier is not only more cost effective, but that they will provide adequate services for the maintenance of safety standards and protocols. As maintenance manager, it is my role to assure that this process is carried out in an efficient and effective manner."
