Semi-public supply and works contract for the efficient management of primary energy sources

The object of the contract is to achieve greater efficiency in energy consumption in the different hospitals covered. To do this, OHL Servicios-Ingesan, the awardee, will execute the project and manage the works to improve the minimum facilities foreseen in the terms of the tender, plus any additional proposals made in the technical bid.

Services:

• Supply of useful energy. Management of thermal, cooling and electrical energy supply, control over quality, quantity and use.
• Operation of the facilities. Management, control, adjusted operation, preventive, corrective and legal maintenance of the equipment and facilities located in the buildings covered by the contract
• Warranty over equipment and facilities related to the facilities improvement works
• Works to renovate and improve the facilities, aimed at helping optimize energy consumption

Basically, the works involve:
