All equipment is within the City of Southend and the Council will provide the Supplier with access to an asset management system where all faults and issues will be logged. The Supplier will be required to interrogate the Council’s system on a daily basis to pick up faults, attend to rectify faults and then update the Council’s system to confirm that the fault has been rectified. The Supplier will also be required to undertake annual inspections and internal cleaning of equipment.

The Supplier will also be required to supply and install new equipment. This will vary throughout the life of the contract due to the level of funding available and/or external grant money becoming available.

The Expression of Interest window closes on 29 May at noon.
