Brief Description of Requirement
The Access Control System maintenance service shall ensure that all maintainable assets, including software, non-fixed plant and equipment within the various premises (identified from the asset list and supplemented where necessary by an initial site survey), are maintained to the required 'fit for function' performance level, meeting the manufacturer's and installer's recommendations (whilst taking account of any supplementary servicing needs that arise from the as-built environment) and to ensure strict compliance with all statutory/legal and mandatory obligations.
