Portering

This service is provided by the Building Facilities Team.

Any requests for portering assistance should be made via our web form or by contacting the ESS Customer Services Help Desk on 0191 222 7171.

Requests will then be priortised and resources allocated.

The main aims of the system are to:

  • enable jobs to be risk assessed
  • prioritise jobs and provide customers with a timescale for completion or an explanation if jobs cannot be undertaken
  • enable a record of all jobs received and completed to be maintained for audit and management information purposes
  • facilitate the tracking of jobs and the production of meaningful data for reporting to schools and services.

Internal purchase requisitions for rechargeable services should be sent to Linda McLean, Facilities Management Team, ESS, 1st Floor, Agriculture Building, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 7RU or faxed to 0191 222 7035.
