The table below details the number of incidents relating to loss of heating and/or hot water for buildings on each of the sites requested since the Future Defence Infrastructure Services (FDIS) Built Estate contracts went live on 1 February 2022 (South West and Central regions) and 1 April 2022 (SE region) respectively.

A further breakdown of these figures cannot be provided without incurring disproportionate costs.

In line with the FDIS Built Estate contracts, contractors are obliged to respond to the loss of heating immediately to make buildings safe, and within 12 hours to restore functionality for certain asset types, including Single Living Accommodation. For less operationally critical buildings, functionality should be restored within five working days.
