Notice Title

Offsite Document Storage

Notice Description

Currently, TCE maintains two separate storage contracts. Legal documents, including leases, licenses, and statutory declarations for our assets, are stored with one provider under a specific contract ending 6 July 2025. Meanwhile, our paper policy and correspondence files are stored with a different provider under a separate contract ending 19 October 2025. We now require a single contract with one supplier ('the Supplier') to provide all three services. This approach is expected to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.
