### Lot Information

NAC/2177 Gas Audits

The quality audit will require the appliances to be dismantled in line with best practice to verify the correct operation of that appliance and facilitate the inspection of areas not normally visible, i.e. heat exchangers, burners, fireplace recesses and flueing aspects. This will then enable a professional judgment to be made on the work that has been performed. All unsafe installations will be dealt appropriately following the current version of IGEM/G/11, North Ayrshire Council must be notified from site and any supply issue must be reported to the ESP. It is estimated there will be approximately 50 audits overall per month. The number of gas audits required may vary as it is intended that the post inspection auditing periods will coincide with the gas service programme that runs continuously with each property planned on a 10-month cycle.

Renewal: Option to extend up to 24 months at the sole discretion of NAC and subject to satisfactory performance and funding.
