From 2012 to 2019 I continually worked with the team from TSS during the course of Metrolink extension. During this period they provided commercial, project and on site management services for Electricity North West Ltd facilitating the construction of a swept path enabling new TfGM managed Metrolink lines to be constructed. Working with both HV and LV services they successfully facilitated diversions to them the sum of £38 million from C3 stage through delivery on site to final account. In addition to the above TSS provided commercial management services from 2013 to BT Openreach for the Metrolink projects formulating, assessing and agreeing final accounts with TfGM for diversions and civils works to the sum of £19 million. Metrolink is a challenging environment requiring identifying risks at project and programme level, facilitating mitigation and escalation accordingly, complete with the necessary formal auditable trail, all which provides confidence in both outturn cost and programme underpinned by TSS’s RICS regulated status and sets them apart from others within the regulatory sector in which I operate.

We reached out to TSS approximately twelve months to support us with a commercial project which they enabled through a short notice mobilisation, several implementation workshops, a number of data review and source mapping sessions, works activity alignment and cost reporting across many operational levels. In addition to the practicalities involved in developing this solution TSS have worked collaboratively with a range of Cadent and supply chain stakeholders. We have found Nick and the TSS team to be professional, agile, and appropriately challenging to better inform our thinking

TSS focused on our needs and were transparent throughout our dealings. By looking at the contract from their perspective and assembling a one version of the truth, providing clarity in a level that we have never previously achieved.

As a project, the SEMMS A6MARR scheme faced many challenges in delivery and reconciliation of the costs. TSS’ knowledge and experience of this sector ensured that the utility diversion costs were agreed. Their diligent approach to the application of the NR&SWA 1991 regulations delivered significant savings and provided a full audit trail, giving the confidence that public sector bodies require.

I personally can endorse TSS’s professionalism and quality management approach to sensitive situations of challenge, whereby clear justification of accounts we’re settled.
