Check obligations before setting dates.
Review notice, final service dates and equipment or supply arrangements. Seek appropriate contract advice when needed.
Document what the new scope must solve.
Separate ongoing needs from catch-up work. Give the incoming bidder an area list and unresolved problems without treating every old task as included.
Reconcile keys, credentials and stored items.
Use the facility’s authorized process for access changes. Record whose equipment and supplies remain onsite and who can approve removal or replacement.
Continue with Access & security.
Define the first review.
Agree an inspection, reporting contact and route for identifying gaps. Keep any start-date or handover commitment in the agreement.
