Description
Schneider Electric is the sole entity with the requisite expertise, specialized knowledge, and proven capabilities to effectively service and maintain the systems—both legacy and newly installed—at the British Embassy Washington (BEW). As the original provider and installer of the equipment, Schneider Electric possesses unique familiarity with its proprietary designs and configurations, ensuring optimal performance, compliance, and seamless integration of any maintenance or upgrades. In addition, the system must be maintained by Schneider to guarantee warranty. Their unparalleled competency eliminates the risk of compromising the operational integrity of these critical systems.

Legal Justification
Although, other Building Management/Automation System Contractors were identified it was established that due to the merger of a legacy and new (upgrade) system this would pose a significant risk to FCDO, regarding the system being maintained to the manufacturers specifications. Schneider Electric are the only entity who have the capability and competency to service and maintain the system (legacy and new) installed at the British Embassy Washington (BEW) premises. Subsequently, following the partial upgrade of the system, any 3rd party intervention could jeopardise warranties, whilst there are still some current issues with the system to be addressed/rectified, where the appointment of SE will assist in the process. In addition, the system must be maintained by Schneider to guarantee warranty.
