Tenderers should note that not all systems / items of equipment would need a Proactive Planned Maintenance Service Visit immediately at the start of the contract, so it may be some months before works would commence. A schedule of works was set out in the documents: o Document 2.2 - Pricing Schedule, Asset Register & SOR - LOT 1 - Fire Alarm o Document 2.3 - Pricing Schedule, Asset Register & SOR - LOT 2 - Fire Extinguishers The range of fire systems / items of equipment was divided into two lots and tenderers were invited to bid for one or both lots.
