Duration related charges and programme set-up price for Engineering Services

Engineering Services offer customers access to our engineering experience to carry out work on their networks and across Openreachs access network.  This includes cabling, testing, network design and installation activities.  Engineering Services are ordered direct from the Openreach Sales and Relationship Manager who will advise on the actual customer requirements or via the Openreach website.

Items of stores will be charged separately using standard stores where appropriate described in the Time Related Charge price list.  Non Standard items will be charged on a per occasion basis.

A standard working week is described as work for an engineer working five Working Days (Monday to Friday 08:00 to 17:00 excluding public holidays) which may be consecutive, or broken into units of one or more complete Working Days.  To incorporate work on weekends or Bank holidays separate rates for these days are included. 

For work not included within this standard definition charges at the Supplementary rates will apply.

A programme set-up fee will be charged where Openreach is requested to design a programme of work to undertake delivery of a specific project.
