1. Regarding SFG20, does the unit price for the preventative maintenance visit submitted include 2 x Visits per year or is the price submitted per each visit?

Price is per visit.

2. Are we able to use Subcontractors to deliver the maintenance on these sites, as some of the sites may require us to use others to complete the maintenance due to the size of the UPS installed?

Yes, subcontractors may be used, the prime contractor would be responsible for the performance of the subcontractors.

3. Do we need a higher level of clearance to attend these sites, or will we be escorted at all times?

A higher level of clearance is not required. Some areas will require being escorted by the Government.

4. Will we be required to quote for Lifecycle replacements (Cap/Fans/Batteries) during the lifespan of the UPS units and will we be required to quote for replacement UPS units at end of life or are replacement units looked after by another supplier?

Quotes may be requested for replacements; however, the Government is not obligated to proceed with any quotes received.

5. Regarding the emergency call outs, please could you confirm this is a call out fee and time will be charged at the hourly rate? Or is the emergency call out a set fee?

This would be a set fee.
