  • Anti-virus: All PCs supplied will include E-Set Antivirus (can be sold separately).
  • Online Backup: Provided by our backup partner Keep It Safe

Exceptions: In a situation where hardware items are already present onsite (i.e. hardware items that were not originally provided by Clanwilliam Health) Clanwilliam Health is not responsible for the integrity of said hardware item, or for any data that may exist on existing server(s) or PC(s). Should a Clanwilliam Health engineer be required to call out to attempt to repair/upgrade or replace said hardware item(s) this will be chargeable per hour. Note the exception to this is when the hardware was present and documented at the time of the initial hardware audit and Clanwilliam Health have agreed to support it.

Please note: If the Hardware is reliant on components or programmes that are no longer supported by their manufacturer then you may be required to upgrade before the Hardware Maintenance Team can assist. For example, a PC running Windows 7 that is now no longer supported by Microsoft will need to be upgraded to a supported version of Windows.

Priority Categorisation

The Supplier shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to resolve or correct incidents within the following service levels;

Classification of Incident Target Response Time Target Resolution Time
Priority 1 (High)

Hardware not functioning at all causing significant impact to operations

1 maintenance hour CWH shall use its reasonable endeavours to resolve the incident within 8 maintenance hours.
Priority 2 (Medium)

Error causing substantial problem in use of the Hardware, workaround available.

2 maintenance hours CWH shall use its reasonable endeavours to resolve the incident within 4 days.
Priority 3 (Non Critical)

Error causing inconvenience in the use of the hardware.

4 maintenance hours CWH shall use its reasonable endeavours to resolve the incident within 3 weeks.

For the purposes of the above, a “Maintenance Hour” shall be 09:00 to 17:00 on Business Days (Monday to Friday). For example, a Priority 2 issue received at 17:00 on a Monday will be responded to by 10:00 the next day.

 

  1. Where a hardware item is deemed to be faulty, our support engineers will firstly attempt to troubleshoot it remotely (I.E via phone and remote web access). If our support engineers confirm that the item is faulty, and where the issue cannot be resolved remotely, suitable arrangements will be made to either organise a collection of the faulty item for shipment back to our repair centre or to deploy an engineer onsite.

 

  1. The Customer shall co-operate with the Supplier in any manner reasonably required by the Supplier in order to carry out the Hardware Maintenance Services including provision of information and data, making available suitably qualified employees and contractors of the Customer and, subject to the Supplier’s compliance with the Customer’s normal security requirements:
    • Provide access to the Customer’s systems for the purpose of carrying out diagnostics and troubleshooting of hardware, provided that system access shall be direct or remote, at the Customer’s option, and that, in the latter case, such access will be subject to the Supplier’s compliance with any additional requirements for security and encryption techniques or software which may from time to time be specified by the Supplier.
    • Provide such further access for the service staff to the Customer’s site as is necessary to carry out the Supplier’s obligations under this agreement. The Customer shall obtain for the Supplier all permissions necessary to obtain such access.
    • Where the support is working on the Site, provide facilities and supplies reasonably required by the Supplier, such as power and computer consumables.

 

  1. Backup/Restore and Verification of Data: It is the responsibility of the customer to have a valid backup and restore routine in place. This is not covered under the Hardware Maintenance Services.

 

  1. Dispute Resolution Handling: Any complaints regarding the company’s products or services should be logged through by email to the relevant team. All complaints will be logged and investigated promptly and the customer will be kept updated of progress.
