When Your Business Doesn’t Stop at 5pm, Neither Do We

Many organisations operate beyond traditional office hours. Whether you’re running evening shifts, supporting remote workers, managing multiple sites, operating warehouses, or delivering customer services around the clock, system outages can quickly become costly.

Alongside our standard IT Support Contracts, ESP Projects can provide up to 24-hour IT Support Coverage for businesses that require genuine out-of-hours technical assistance.

Unlike many providers who simply route calls to an outsourced helpdesk or call centre, our out-of-hours service gives your team direct access to experienced technical engineers who understand your environment, systems and operational requirements.

What Is 24-Hour IT Support Coverage?

Our enhanced support service extends technical assistance beyond standard support hours, giving your business access to engineering support whenever critical systems need attention.

The service is designed around an agreed set of business-critical platforms and systems that require protection outside normal operating hours.

Examples may include:

  • Server infrastructure
  • Virtual environments
  • Network connectivity
  • Firewalls and security appliances
  • Wi-Fi infrastructure
  • Critical line-of-business applications
  • Microsoft 365 services
  • Cloud platforms
  • Multi-site connectivity solutions
  • CCTV and access control systems
  • VoIP and telephony platforms

Before the service begins, we work with you to define exactly which systems are covered and the level of support required.

Engineer-Led Support, Not a Call Centre

One of the biggest frustrations businesses face with out-of-hours support is spending valuable time speaking with non-technical call handlers who simply log a ticket and escalate it elsewhere.

At ESP Projects, our out-of-hours service is delivered directly by technical engineers.

This means:

  • No outsourced call centres
  • No script-driven first-line operators
  • No unnecessary delays
  • Faster diagnosis and resolution
  • Direct access to experienced technical professionals

When a critical issue arises, you’ll be speaking with somebody who can actively investigate, troubleshoot and resolve the problem.

Flexible Coverage Based on Your Needs

Not every business needs every system covered 24 hours a day.

That’s why our enhanced support service is flexible and can be tailored around your operational requirements.

Together we’ll define:

  • The systems covered outside standard hours
  • The times and days support is required
  • Incident severity levels
  • Escalation procedures
  • Response and resolution targets
  • Key stakeholders and contacts

This ensures you only pay for the protection your business actually needs.

Separate Service Levels and Response Times

Our out-of-hours support operates under a dedicated set of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that are separate from your standard support agreement.

These SLAs are designed specifically for critical incidents occurring outside normal business hours and provide clear expectations around:

  • Incident response
  • Escalation
  • Communication
  • Engineering engagement
  • Target resolution times

We’ll work with your organisation to define service levels that align with your operational requirements and business risk profile.

Designed for Businesses That Can’t Afford Downtime

Our 24-hour support service is particularly valuable for organisations operating:

  • Multi-shift environments
  • Manufacturing facilities
  • Warehouses and logistics operations
  • Healthcare providers
  • Professional services firms with international teams
  • Multi-site businesses
  • Retail and hospitality environments
  • Businesses with remote or home-based workers
  • Organisations with critical connectivity requirements

If revenue generation, customer service or operational efficiency depends on your technology remaining available outside office hours, enhanced support coverage can provide valuable peace of mind.

How Much Does 24-Hour Support Cost?

Enhanced out-of-hours support is typically available from an additional £30 per user, per month on top of your existing IT Support Agreement.

The final cost is determined by:

  • The number of users
  • The systems being covered
  • Required coverage hours
  • SLA requirements
  • Infrastructure complexity

We will provide a tailored quotation following an assessment of your environment and support requirements.
