The Contractor shall provide comprehensive Winter Maintenance Services, specifically appropriate snow clearance and/or gritting services (the service), to the Client's property. This is to facilitate safe access for the client's staff, members of the public, patients and other 3rd parties to the property.

The Contractor and shall be responsible for ensuring the key objectives of the service are maintained, specifically:
- Responding to adverse weather conditions twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week
