7.13  ACCESS WHERE SERVICES EQUIPMENT IS BEING PROVIDED BY THE CONTRACTOR

7.13.1 It is possible that the Authority or the Authority Service Provider will not be responsible for installing its own equipment. So, for example, in the case of a catering service it may be the Contractor who is required to install the catering equipment, as part of the Works, which the Authority or the Authority Service Provider will use. In this situation, although the Authority or the Authority Service Provider will not require access to install equipment, access will be needed to commission the equipment and/or train staff on how to use it before service mobilisation. Again the extent of such access should be set out in the construction programme and/or the relevant construction or Interface Protocol.
