During the tender period, Operational Estates engineers will be available to offer their services to the refrigeration contractor to provide advice and guidance on the plant and operating system to enable a full understanding of the requirements of the contract.

-Service reports per appliance must be provided electronically within 5 working days of a visit, along with the updated register.

-Inform the department of any actions it may need to take to maintain compliance with any applicable laws and regulations

-Visits must be pre-arranged with the Estates Department at Wrexham Maelor Hospital.

-Manufacturer’s recommendations/ instructions must be followed where they differ from this specification.
