The successful bidder will be expected to manage any third party faults such as network failures in resolving any incidents. Each FRS has provided a list of equipment that they wish to be maintained with an option for preventative maintenance. These are included within the documentation available via the Chest/Due North portal (https://www.the-chest.org.uk/). It is envisaged (but not confirmed) that the following FRS's will be utilising this contract; * Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service * Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service * Cumbria County Council * Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service.
