Introduction

The Covid-19 pandemic has given rise to a renewed focus on Facilities projects across sectors. Many OECM customers have expressed an interest in Facilities agreements, and with the recent creation of the OECM Facilities Support Team (OFST), OECM is in a unique position to provide customers with access to pre-qualified suppliers to meet these requirements.

-        Emergency Generators
-        PA Systems (Supply and Repairs)
-        Playground and Gym Annual Inspections and Repairs

For the purpose of this survey, these projects are defined as follows:
