What happened to the 9 Principles? Will they form part of the Maintenance Agreement?
A. Many concepts, like the 9 Principles, have evolved and changed over the past year as the Ministry considered all the options and implications. Many of the 9 principles are no longer necessary with the introduction of ISO 9001 2000 principles. The Ministry is unwillingly to incorporate language into the winter specifications, which would give the perception of reducing winter service levels from previous contract rounds. As a result, the 9 Principles will not be part of the 2003 2004 maintenance documents. The contractor’s QMS must meet the specifications.
