English translation: provision of servicing

Bus/Financial - Construction / Civil Engineering
German term or phrase: Dienstleistungen im Bereich Service
This phrase appears in a contract, after one of the parties to the contract has explained what services they offer (building-related services: planning, heating, ventilation etc.).
The next sentence is simply:
"Sie [the company] bietet auch Dienstleistungen im Bereich Service an.

Does it mean customer services? It seems like a bit of an unnecessary sentence, unless I'm missing something.

The contract is in Swiss Standard German.

Thanks in advance.

neutral  philgoddard: This is a good and convincing reference, but I think maintenance is the more likely meaning here.

  -> You may be right although 'Wartung' would have been less ambiguous. I would have expected a company to include maintenance in its offerings, if they already offer installation and repair rather than act as if 'Wartung' were an entirely different category.

Reference: Customer support services

Reference information:
I Googled Serviceleistungen + "customer support services" on a hunch.
The cited website uses both terms.
I understand "Dienstleitungen im Bereich Service" to be "services in the customer support/after-sales department.
