Providing Gas Maintenance Services for Commercial Clients

The thought of reviewing and changing your gas maintenance contractor, and the subsequent transition period that follows, can be a daunting prospect. This is particularly true for companies that have become accustomed to the ways of their incumbent service provider with an existing long-term care plan.

In this blog, we want to share our experience with how a robust contract review procedure, as well as a detailed mobilisation plan, can make a solid foundation for any new maintenance service contract.

Effective Gas Maintenance Plan

Heating breakdowns during a cold snap can be business disruptive to commercial premises. Maintenance of gas or oil boilers are a statutory requirement and a good service provider should keep your gas or oil boilers in the best condition through a preventive maintenance plan. This helps prevent unexpected call outs, by picking up warning signs in advance, which means you can arrange for any issues to be addressed, before anything more major occurs.

Regular Contract Review

Regular contract reviews should be part of any effective maintenance strategy. This is why we believe that clients with a sizable portfolio, should be offered contract review reports on a monthly basis. This process helps Property, Estates and Facilities Managers keep an eye on things such as, Service Level Agreement (SLA) measurements, Customer Satisfaction, Finance, Health and Safety, Contract Development and Added Value.

The collation of information from these contract review reports over time, should paint a clear picture when it comes to contractor review, re-tender and selection processes.

When a New Contractor is Selected

Not only will you need to manage the process of moving contractors but also managing staff who may have relationships with their existing contractors, which can be difficult to navigate around. Having a robust mobilisation plan that takes into account all the added stresses when changing providers, is paramount to its success. No one really likes change; however the benefits can be numerous, don’t lose sight of these in the process!
