The purpose of this arrangement is to provide the Trust with direct access to specialist contractors for non-reactive boiler and associated mechanical services works arising from inspections, insurance inspections, statutory examinations, PPM findings, compliance inspections, water safety reviews, energy reviews, lifecycle assessments, service change requirements, risk reviews or assurance concerns.
