This procurement falls under the industrial machinery category, specifically concerning the design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of an upgraded tube transport system across 18 stations in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement is in the tender stage, with a submission deadline on 27th July 2021. The contract is valued at £156,000 and is set to commence on 13th August 2021, concluding by 1st October 2021. The procurement method utilised is an open procedure, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs). This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the engineering and construction sectors, particularly those focused on industrial systems and mechanical installations. Companies with expertise in modern pneumatic tube systems, capable of providing new, compliant equipment as stipulated in the project requirements, would be well-suited to compete. There is potential for achieving growth through successful contract fulfilment, enhanced reputation within the healthcare procurement space, and the chance to establish long-term relationships with public sector clients like the NHS. ## Notice The project works are to Design, Supply, Install, Test and Commission (where applicable) and upgrade the existing system to an 18 station 6 Zone layout in accordance with the specification and proposed schematic layout. Removal of all of the existing tube system key components such as Stations, diverters, drive units etc. All existing stations are to be removed and to be replaced with 'New' ones. Second hand units will not be acceptable. The contractor has to provide documented evidence that the units that they are going to install have been manufactured within the last 6 months. No second hand equipment will be allowed as the provision for any station upgrade. The contractor must carry out the upgrade to the current network with the minimum of disruption, trying to maintain an operational system this site for as long as possible. As part of the process of the upgrade the contractor must make every effort to bring back on-line as many zones as possible with minimal delay, bringing the important acute zones back on first (zones containing: A&E, Pathology the deemed critical areas) or any zones that the Trust deem more important than any other one on their respective networks. The end system must come with a full 24 months warranty upon acceptance of the completed works.
