Notice Title

G/R Replacement of UPS system at City Hall

Notice Description

The UPS (uniterupted power supply) system at City Hall is essentially a large battery back up that keeps the data centre operational in the event of a mains power failure until the back up generator starts up and takes over, therefore this spend is essential. The system is over 15 yrs old and is in urgent need of replacement. As a specific type of equiptment we are wanting to get quotations from chosen specialist suppiers to replace.
