Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of Servicing and Maintenance of the Laundry Production Equipment at Nottingham City Hospital

Notice Description

The Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Client) is conducting this Preliminary Market Engagement exercise in connection with the competitive procurement of Servicing and Maintenance of the Laundry Production Equipment at Nottingham City Hospital (The service). The purpose of the service is to reduce the likelihood of costly breakdown, ensure high quality wash results, optimize the Client's chemical usage and increase the life of the equipment, mitigating the requirement to purchase new assets due to lack of maintenance. Laundry production and, subsequently, the Client's organisation would be adversely affected in the event of any prolonged downtime. Therefore, an engineer must be available on site at any time the laundry is operating. Even a minor issue, such as a machine tripping out, resulting in equipment out of action, would then have a knock-on effect with volume of fresh linen available to the Client's wards, for example. Therefore, a Contractor is to deliver full on site engineering services to cover planned preventive maintenance and reactive maintenance. The objective is to ensure the Laundry Production Equipment is supported by qualified engineers and is fit for the purpose of enabling the Client's staff to operate the equipment safely, efficiently and reliably. The Contractor will be required to utilize the Client's digital planned preventative maintenance (PPM) system to provide the service.
