Accreditation/Governance

MyMiltonKeynes is actively pursuing its second accreditation from British BIDs to show excellence in both governance and transparency.

  • Accreditation assures levy payers that the BID is a well run and governed by local businesses
  • This award is more challenging than ever to obtain and MyMiltonKeynes is one of only 29 BIDs in the UK that have achieved it.
  • The award also highlights areas of best practice for the BID to further improve and develop its management and communication measures.

Overview

British BIDs is the parent organisation of UK BIDs and Accreditation is the best way to show that a BID is well run and well managed. Accreditation covers areas such as management of BID finances, operational management of projects, measuring performance and good governance from our Board of Directors. MyMiltonKeynes won British BIDs Accreditation in 2018 and will be renewing this award for the second term this year.
