How it joins up

## Maintain works best alongside the other five

Buy maintain on its own, or combine it with other SPS Group capabilities on one site. Each service keeps its own specialist manager, with one senior point of contact across them all.

Maintain + Clean

All of ICS Cleaning's machinery is maintained and PAT tested in house by ICS Maintenance, so cleaning isn't held up by broken or untested equipment.

Clean

Maintain + Detect

Fire and security systems installed by SPS Technical and TESS stay on planned maintenance with compliant records.

Detect
