V002 Maintenance of Fire Alarm system

The fire detection system is currently maintained and serviced by ADT. Due to the complexity and size of the project the service provider would be able to manage, mobilize and schedule these works within the required timescales. Much of the existing fire alarm system has been installed by ADT and that would ensure that the site wide fire system was fully standardised by ADT. ADT provide maintenance and support for fire systems and have support covering reactive and planned maintenance of the fire system within the site where the technician has extensive knowledge of the systems. Due to the size and nature of the fire alarm system ADT are thought be the only service provider who could provide the installation. The reason this requirement has been published as a VEAT in addition to above is that ADT are thought to be the only company that can access the current closed protocol panels and upload then to the new open protocol panels.
