The objective of the Contract is to ensure that all in-scope BEMS assets, including controllers, supervisory systems, field devices and associated infrastructure, remain safe, operational, resilient and fit for purpose throughout the Contract Term. Faults or failures shall be identified, responded to and managed in a timely and effective manner.
