Why multi-site
Why multi-site maintenance contracts matters
For a retailer with 30, 100 or 500 sites, managing 30 different door contractors is a procurement, compliance and reporting nightmare. A multi-site contract consolidates the door scope under one specialist subcontractor with UK-wide coverage, one account manager, one set of SLAs, one invoice cycle, and reporting that rolls up to portfolio level. The operations director sees portfolio compliance status at a glance; site managers get consistent service from a known engineer team. We currently service multi-site clients across retail, hospitality, automotive and corporate sectors.
The compliance angle
Single contract documentation covers all sites for all relevant standards: RR(FS)O 2005 (fire doors), BS EN 16005 (automatic doors), PUWER 1998 (powered industrial doors), BS EN 1125/179 (panic hardware). Per-site compliance evidence rolls up to a portfolio dashboard so the operations director can answer "are we compliant?" in 30 seconds.
