Successful contractors will, therefore, be required to provide the following as part of any contracts let:-Full inventory of materials, equipment, etc., removed from sites.-Comprehensive photographic record of site works undertaken.-Satisfactory security arrangements for the protection of site personnel and activities.-Liaison as necessary with police in advance of planned works.
