Description

The Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Authority) requires a Supplier for the provision of Servicing and Maintenance of the Medical Gas Pipeline System (MGPS) at the Nottingham City Hospital. The purpose of the contract is to ensure the Authority complies with Health Technical Memorandum (HTM) 02-01 as well as applicable standards and relevant legislation. A copy of HTM 02-01 can be found on the NHS England website: - https://www.england.nhs.uk/estates/health-technical-memoranda/ The objective of the contract is to ensure the provision of safe and MGPS for administering of medical gases (E.g. oxygen) to patients under the care of the Authority. An MPGS comprises a source of supply, pipeline distribution system, terminal units (to which the user connects and disconnects medical equipment) and a warning/alarm system. Systems include for, but are not limited to, provision of oxygen, nitrous oxide and medical air for respiratory and surgical applications. To ensure the MGPS operates safely and reliably, the Authority requires a Supplier to provide regular planned preventative maintenance (PPM) to mitigate risks of faults or failures occurring. A minor issue, such as a leak in the pipeline for example, may have major consequences such as patient fatality as a result of oxygen deprivation. The PPM must be carried out in full accordance with the requirements of HTM 02-01 Part B (Operational Management Chapter 10 maintenance 10.1 to 10.161) and the Supplier must include all consumables and manufacturer’s identifiable parts for quarterly or annual routine servicing on all of the Authority’s medical gas pipe, plant and systems and include: - All plant equipment servicing as per manufacturer’s recommendations - Annual AGSS LEV testing and certification. - Dental air and vacuum. - Pathology Gases.
