The Diesel Rotary Uninterruptible Power Supply (DRUPS) at the Bank's Moorgate site requires maintenance to ensure electrical resilience to the building. The DRUPS system can only be maintained by the manufacturer (Hitec Power Protection) because the equipment is closed protocol. This contract is for an initial term of 3 years with 3 optional extensions of 12 months each.
