Response times depend on the severity of the fault reported or service requested.  The detailed tables set out in the applicable Services Schedule set out the response times for each of the different severity levels.

The response times measure how long it takes TELTRAC to log, and then respond to, a fault report or service request raised via the correct procedure and, where applicable, to make the initial site visit (if any) required.

TELTRAC is deemed to have logged the fault report or service request when it has replied to the Client’s initial request. This may be in the form of a phone call, email, or through TELTRAC’s online Service Request System.

TELTRAC is deemed to have responded to the fault report or service request when it has followed up on the logged report or request (whether remotely, electronically, including by phone, or in person) with a view to endeavouring to:

  • • substantially fix the fault or provide the requested service; or
  • • identifying to the Client how the fault may be avoided without materially compromising service standards; or
  • • where the fault emanates from a source for which TELTRAC is not responsible identifying that source or eliminating any source for which TELTRAC is responsible; or
  • • identifying to the Client any additional equipment or service or software which is required to remedy the fault or provide the requested service and the provision of which does not fall within TELTRAC’s existing Service Schedule with the Client.

but actual resolution or remediation within any timeframe is not guaranteed.

On completion of the fault resolution or provision of service the job must be signed off by either the Client personnel member who made the initial report or request or the Client Primary Contact or other designated client representative as accepting that the fault reported, or service requested has been completed.

TELTRAC’s Service Call Centre will close the job and maintain the Client’s Fault and Maintenance register for the site.

Response times are measured using TELTRAC’s Job Management System SimPRO, which tracks all issues from initial reporting to resolution.

This means the following month’s fee payable by the Client will be reduced on a sliding scale.

The level of penalty (rebate) will be calculated depending on:

  • • The number of hours, by which TELTRAC has exceeded the response time;
  • • The number of devices affected;

  • • Any specific factors set out in the Services Schedule which relate to the System Maintenance, Service and Support Plan.
