Maintenance - Section 11

41  Section 11.1 of SoPC includes required drafting on maintenance which has been incorporated into the Model Contract.  

42  Section 11.5 of SoPC includes required drafting on surveys, which has been incorporated into the Model Contract.  As required by SoPC, the Model Contract sets out the standard that the Facilities must attain throughout the Contract Period.  The Local Authority has the right (if it reasonably believes the Service Provider has not attained such standards) to carry out a survey, but no more than once every two years.  If the survey shows that the standards have not been satisfied then the Service Provider is obliged, at its own cost, to carry out the necessary rectification works.
