McCann will begin by working with the council to cleanse the existing asset data, ensuring the information is accurate, reliable, and fit for the future. Alongside this, we’ll update specifications to include the latest technology, such as advanced CMS systems, delivering smarter, more responsive lighting across the city.
In addition, our immediate focus is on maintenance and addressing any outstanding faults encountered during the handover period. By prioritising the fundamentals, we will lay a strong foundation for service improvement throughout the contract.
Speaking about the mobilisation phase and commencement of the contract, which officially launched on September 1st, our Managing Director, John McCann, said, “The McCann team have been applying our expertise in Local Authority service terms to ensure a smooth and comprehensive mobilisation of our Liverpool Contract. Together with the team at Liverpool City Council, we have been working in partnership to put the three-year contract in motion.
We are in the process of setting up a new central depot to service Liverpool and have expanded our team significantly through the recruitment of various key roles, as well as supporting the existing Liverpool team in their transition to joining McCanns. I would like to take another moment to welcome these people to our team. We are happy to have you on board!”
McCann has a proven track record of working with local authorities to enhance performance, improve reliability, and modernise infrastructure. With our experience, expertise, and collaborative approach, McCann is ready to support Liverpool City Council and the local community by providing an energy-efficient, enhanced safety, and future-proofed street lighting infrastructure.
Councillor Daniel Barrington, councillor for the ward of West Derby in Liverpool said, “Liverpool City Council are pleased to be partnering with McCann on our street lighting maintenance contract and are excited to Go Live from 1st September. Working together, we have a shared commitment to improving the street lighting across the city through effective ongoing maintenance and infrastructure upgrades, to benefit the local community with enhanced safety and reliability.
McCann’s have a proven track record of working collaboratively with councils nationwide to enhance vital services, so we are assured that they will be a great partner on this project.”
