Minor works may also be requested as formal changes during the agreement. This is a services contract, classified under repair and maintenance services and industrial machinery.

Suppliers need capability in powered and manual appliance bay doors, entrance doors, speed lanes, vehicle barriers, hydraulic bollards, vehicle and pedestrian gates, roller shutters, drill tower grilles and shutters, together with associated automatic closing devices and in-scope vehicle access control systems. The contract requires planned preventative maintenance management and a dependable 24-hour, 365-day reactive and emergency call-out service, so bidders should have sufficient engineering coverage, operational resilience and response capacity.
