The multi-devise app is to be also used to further drive the sustainability campaigns across the property and connect the occupiers with Riverside Sunderland initiatives to achieve net zero carbon emissions. Currently, the communications application is required to cover two sites Sunderland City Hall & the Beam, but there may be a possible extension to different sites, this will be confirmed at a later date

Supplier to have ISO27001

The app requires Integration with:

• Gallagher access card system
• R00MZ booking system
• ELogbooks

Further support information:

Other buildings may come onboard, there are also residential elements, and a few different access points are required - further segmentation.

It is very important for the supplier to be able to demonstrate relevant experience, liability, ongoing support with initial implementation, and the duration of the contract, to be able to provide strong evidence of staff training. This multi-device app must be able to take away some of the admin tasks.
