This will ensure SPS continues to meet statutory compliance obligations in addition to the efficient and safe operation of the equipment to be maintained. The contract will cover all 16 SPS sites: 13 directly managed prisons, a college (SPSC), central stores and an administrative headquarters at Calton House to support the operations of the prisons. The contract will be split into the following lots: Lot 1 - Maintenance of Standby Generators and Oil Storage Tanks; and Lot 2 - Maintenance of Uninterrupted Power Supplies.
