The scope of the gas and heating installations, servicing and maintenance workstream will include providing an annual service to all appliances, in line with the Council's statutory obligation. The Call Management function will be carried out by the Council's in-house corporate contact centre function supported by Contractors with an out of hours service (call handling and carrying out emergency repairs).

Core IT systems used by the Council are set out in the Contract Documents and associated appendices. Contractors will be required to utilise and/or integrate with the Council's systems fully. The Council has established key performance indicators which the Contractor will be expected to consistently meet, with an emphasis on improving performance to enhance customer satisfaction.

Under this contract the contractors and their supply chains will be required to actively participate in the achievement of the Contracting Authority's social, economic and environmental objectives.
