BAM Western has selected Biosite as its site access control supplier across the region.

The deal will see Biosite supply its access control systems to sites covering 185 employees and a supply chain of 1,000 firms across the £120m turnover BAM Western region.

Biosite has already been working with sister company BAM Plant.

Graham Kingdom, BAM Western’s Construction Director Manager said: “Following a rigorous selection process, we chose to partner with Biosite for the provision of biometric site access, security and workforce management solutions for our Western region sites.

“As BAM Plant already had a solid relationship with Biosite it made sense for us to source Biosite solution via BAM Plant.

“We were particularly impressed with Biosite’s reporting capability at group level and their integrated product offering and ability to scale in the future.

“In addition, we were confident that Biosite would support our initiative to increase our use of apprentices and people who were previously unemployed.

“Through the precise recording of time spent on site by these categories, we can now accurately report internally and externally.

“Moreover, we can set ourselves ambitious targets to ensure we constantly improve our performance.”

Biosite’s existing clients include Wates, Willmott Dixon, Vinci, Kier and Bouygues.

Li Wang, Managing Director of Biosite Systems said: “We are confident that our system will improve efficiencies and give directors a global view of projects and data.

“By using Biosite across multiple sites, BAM Western will benefit from enhanced decision making and cost savings – through the capture and analysis of information relating to operative and site performance.

“We look forward to building on our partnership with BAM Western and BAM Plant in years to come.
