This contract will cover the supply, installation, maintenance, servicing and repair of the University's portfolio of Evacuation Chairs, as well as appropriate staff training throughout the lifetime of the contract. It is expected that the agreement will include the renewal of the University's Evacuation Chairs inventory as well as any future purchases, to ensure consistent management across the various locations.
