Questions buyers ask

Whit a supplier assessment asks us

Ye can read oor answers tae the quaistions a supplier suitability assessment speirs here, afore ye speir thaim.

Can ye gie twa references for contracts o similar size and scope?

We dinna discuss oor clients or revenue in public. We share them wi buyers privately, durin their evaluation.

Alangside that, here is whit we offer and will pit in a contract:

  • A technical session wi the engineers that wad dae the wark, afore ye commit tae onything.
  • Access tae oor ain seestems as a reference environment. The platforms on this steid rin this company, an ye can keek at them.
  • A paid pilot at a scope ye set, wi the success test agreed in writin afore it starts.
  • Stage payments agin delivered milestones. Ye are nivver exposed ayont the hinmaist thing we haundit ower.

Whit happens gin yer director is no available?

The systems are the handover.

RODMENA is led bi its director, Farshid Ashouri. Ingineerin is duin bi contract ingineers, the team growes wi the wark, an knawledge transfer is pairt o hou we operate.

We write operatin knawledge doun as it is produced, an credentials an access are hauden in a wey that lats the wark gang forrit athoot ony ane body:

  • Oor platforms document themsels in oor knawledge base, the seestem o record for operational documentation athort the hail IT seestems.
  • Acause oor continuous integration bigs an records the releases o oor platforms, a deployment can be reproduced athoot the body that made it.
  • Credentials are hauden in Haven, an access daesna lippen on ane laptop.
  • Commercial records are in Trace, an the beuks are in Ledger.
  • Credentials an access are forby available tae a person haudin a power of attorney if the director canna wirk, as set oot in oor Business Continuity Policy.

We can shaw ye aw o this on the day.

Can ye gie three years o filed accounts?

Alangside oor accounts filed at Companies House, we offer the staundart assurances.

RODMENA is fundit bi its director. Thair is nae ootwith investment an nae debt, an nae investor, lender or ither third pairty haes interests that sit atween us an a customer. The company doesna depend on winnin onie parteecular contract tae keep gaun.

Whaur a contract calls for mair financial assurance than the filed accounts shaw, we offer the staundart routes:

  • A director’s guarantee.
  • A performance bond.
  • Escrow o soorce code an deployment material.
  • Stage payments against delivered milestones.

Dae ye uise subcontractors, and whaur are thay?

Aye. Delivery is by contract engineers engaged by RODMENA in the UK.

Whaur a contract requires it, we name the subcontractors wha wad hae access tae yer systems or data afore the wark begins. They are engaged unner the confidentiality an data-protection terms that bind us, an unner oor access controls.

The third pairties that process data on oor ain estate are leetit wi their purpose and location in the sub-processor table on the Trust Centre.

Haes yer staff security clearance?

No at the noo.

Naebody at RODMENA haud BPSS, SC or a DBS check at the moment. Whaur a contract requires clearance, we tell ye at the bid stage sae ye can plan the timetable aroond it. We syne sponsor an complete the clearance afore that wark stairts.

If clearance is a condition o participation for yer procurement, tell us at the earliest stage and we will confirm whether we can meet the timetable.

Whit insurance dae ye haud?

Cyber, professional indemnity, public liability and employer’s liability insurance are in place.

Cyber insurance in place. Evidence available on request from security@rodmena.co.uk.

The policy comes wi oor Cyber Essentials certificate and runs for the same period. Subject tae its terms and limit, it pays for incident response, the costs o haundlin a cyber incident (legal advice, IT forensics, data recovery, notifeein fowk affectit and public relations), loss o income while oor systems are interruptit, data protection investigations and fines (whaur the law permits), and claims frae third pairties efter a data breach or security failure. It disna cover money stown throu cyber-crime or invoice fraud, and it is no professional indemnity or public liability cover.
