1.0 Introduction The following document is the Service Level Agreement (SLA) between the Estates Maintenance Department and the Projects Office. The SLA identifies the services and response times, which the Maintenance Department will provide in support of Project works and the agreed costs. The agreement applies to all properties except those which are owned and maintained by a Hospital Trust or where such a Trust provides the service to IC. The agreement has been developed in consultation between the two parties and is deemed to meet the needs of the Project office and the resources of the maintenance department. The period of this Agreement is fixed for 12 months, with a 3 monthly review by the Steering group. It is anticipated that the Agreement will be developed and improved in the light of feedback received. Any changes to the Agreement must be by the mutual consent of both parties. 1.1 Normal Working Hours The Service Level Agreement will apply during the following times: - Normal Working hours (Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5pm) and continuation of normal working hours up to 11.00pm. Weekends 8.30am to 5pm The Service Level Agreement excludes the following periods: - After 11.00pm and before 8.30am Bank Holidays College closures Where the Project requests work to be carried out during these periods, they will be rechargeable at prevailing rates via a transfer journal by negotiation with the maintenance team leader. Where work is carried out during these periods at the choice of the Maintenance Department, the works are to be treated as if carried out during normal hours. 1.2 Cost Charges
The Project office agree to pay a sum of 0.2% of the gross project costs to the Maintenance Department for the services which the latter will provide in support of project works as detailed in Section 2 of his Agreement. The monies will be transferred into the appropriate maintenance budget code when the PM2 is signed off and funds allocated. Where a PM3 is subsequently raised to increase/decrease the value of the project, 0.2% of the change in value will be transferred to or from the relevant maintenance cost code. 1.3 Disputes Where a dispute arises over either the level of service provided by the Maintenance Department or by the failure of the Project Manager to provide adequate notice for enabling works etc, the matter is to be raised with the Assistant Director of Estates (Projects) and Assistant Director of Estates (Property Services) for resolution. In exceptional circumstances an unresolved dispute may be referred to the Director of Estates for adjudication. 1.4 Exclusions Unless the service requested already forms part of this agreement, any additional service(s) required from an external maintenance contractor(s), e.g. Security / Fire alarm installation maintenance contractor(s), shall be raised by the Project Manager via the Help Desk, in the normal manner. Such services will be invoiced to the project, separately, as appropriate. The Service Level Agreement does not apply outside of those hours identified within Section 1.1 The Service Level Agreement does not apply to buildings or accommodation owned and maintained by Hospital Trusts.
