3. Emergency Response: Our contract manager devised and implemented emergency response protocols, ensuring the swift and effective resolution of unforeseen incidents while minimising disruption for residents. 

4. Performance Monitoring: Monitoring the performance of various services is essential for maintaining service quality. The contract manager implemented performance monitoring systems to track key metrics, such as cleanliness levels, security incidents, and maintenance response times, facilitating continuous service improvement.
