Description of Contract
Corville NS is a large 30-roomed Primary School situated close to a housing estate on the outskirts of Roscrea Town. It is surrounded by playing pitches, out buildings and concrete yards.

Details of Contract Management
Oxley Systems & Services Ltd was the main contractor, undertaking the design and installation work for this contract. Our contract manager, John Oxley, was the primary liaison for St Joseph’s National School, managing all aspects of the contract, including site work.
The contract was managed using our four-step approach:
1. Design
John undertook an initial site assessment, to identify issues and potential improvements (e.g. siting a camera on the roof) and additional potential options. He then designed a proposed solution and provided the client with an itemised quotation.
John took the client through the various options, and agreed the final system specification and contract with them. He ordered the system components and agreed an installation date with the client.
2. Installation
Potential risks to our team, the client’s employees and other site visitors were identified by John as part for the initial site visit. A risk assessment was undertaken, and method statements and a health and safety plan prepared (including PPE and required equipment).
On the installation day, John led our site team. The team were taken through the method statement and plan. PPE and safety equipment were checked.
John liaised with the St Joseph’s School principal to secure the work areas and brief the client’s staff on safety protocols.
Installation followed the plan, and was completed over five days.
Certificates of completion and system details were provided to the client for inclusion in the building file (O&M manual).
3. Commissioning
John developed a comprehensive test plan to ensure all installed equipment was working, that the management software was properly configured, and that there were no gaps in coverage.
John undertook user training with client staff, and provided user documentation to the client.
