The DCC Customer Services team answer calls from the public Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 5:00pm. Outside of those times calls are diverted to an afterhours telephony services provider.

Our current afterhours contract is nearing completion and we are seeking to appoint a partner to provide our afterhours telephony services for up to 9 years.

What’s most important is that the level of customer service and customer experience is consistent and indistinguishable between the DCC and our afterhours telephony services provider.

Calls must be handled courteously, efficiently and logged accurately. The objective is to ensure that urgent requests are escalated appropriately and procedures followed to ensure immediate action or otherwise logged for action during normal business hours.
