Published requirement descriptionOur site safety and security is vital and enables us to deliver life's essential service to our customers, and maintaining our estate successfully is crucial to keeping our frontline operation working.
We have a challenging boundary products programme over the AMP8 period and we want to ensure that we have suppliers in place to support the success of our programme, working with us to design optimum whole life solutions and maintaining our existing estate so that we remain secure for AMP8 and beyond.

We have split this agreement into the following lots:
Lot 1 - Supply, install and maintain new boundary products
Lot 2 - Maintenance of boundary products - London
Lot 3 - Maintenance of boundary products - Thames Valley and Home Counties
