Description

Westmorland and Furness Council has a varied portfolio of buildings including 9 Care Homes and 5 Day Centres which contain a range of catering and laundry equipment which require compliant inspection and servicing and as required, breakdown maintenance and replacement.

In responding to this opportunity, Contractors confirm that they can comply with the relevant statutes and regulations current at the time of the selection process including as relevant, Gas Safety, Health & Safety, Control of Asbestos, COSHH, Electricity at Work, Manual Handling and Personal Protective Equipment.
Overall, this Contract shall achieve the delivery of statutory compliant, working equipment in Council buildings. A key deliverable will be a rapid response to emergency repairs where it is critical to the catering service operation. Achievement of the aims will generally be measured by the Contractors performance as set out in the ITT and Specification.

Currently there are approximately 14 sites using this service, this number may reduce as the Council continues a programme of consolidation/rationalisation of assets. All figures in this document are therefore indicative.
