The purpose of this Scope of Work is to define the responsibilities, service expectations, and performance requirements for the contracted Service Desk provider (“Vendor”). The Vendor will serve as the First Level of Support (Tier 1) for all incoming calls and online service tickets submitted by end users. This includes initial triage, troubleshooting, resolution (where applicable), routing, and escalation according to established Information Technology Infrastructure Library (“ITIL”) -based processes and agreed-upon Service Level Agreements (“SLAs”).

Professionalism and courtesy of Service Desk staff will be evaluated through customer satisfaction (“CSAT”) surveys, call quality scoring, and iss
