Description

Norfolk County Council wishes to appoint cabling specialists with experience of working in schools to a multi-provider Framework Agreement, that can provide staff who have an enhanced DBS check, and who are used to working around the school day and calendar when required, and liaising with schools. Staff will be required to bring their CSCS card with them on site and be prepared to show it to the site manager.

Appointed providers will need to be able to respond to emergencies and be at any school or academy in Norfolk within 2 hours and must provide warranties on their parts and labour.

Suppliers awarded work from this Framework Agreement must provide a 25 year warranty on cabling and the manufacturer's warranty on other products.

Please note that there is no guarantee of work.

Current Contracts for network cabling services for schools were originally purchased from a building maintenance Framework Agreement that will be expiring shortly, and in order to ensure that schools have the opportunity to enter in to new arrangements when required, and that best meet their needs, we are letting a Framework Agreement specifically for schools' network cabling requirements.
