Notice Title

Maintenance of Star Chillers

Notice Description

The University requires a supplier to maintain two Star Chillers located in the John Anderson building and the Library. The John Anderson has Laser Equipment valued in millions and a chiller failure will result in researchers being unable to work. The laser equipment and optics require very close temperature and humidity control and failure to keep within limits results in equipment going out of calibration or becoming damaged. The Star chillers serving the library are of very high importance particularly close to examination times when the library is very busy. The library has a very deep floor plan without opening windows. Failure of the chillers is likely to leave the building unfit for use.
