This procurement falls under the medical equipment industry category and is located in Buxton, Derbyshire (SK17 9JN). The tender period concludes on 2nd January 2019, with the contract expected to start on 31st January 2019 and run until 29th March 2019. The selected supplier will need to deliver and install the equipment at the designated location, ensuring compliance with UK pressure vessel and electrical safety standards. A detailed statement of services outlines the necessary engineering assistance and utilities for installation. This tender creates opportunities for businesses that specialise in medical equipment and installation services, particularly those able to meet stringent health and safety regulations. Companies with expertise in autoclave systems, contract engineering, and facility management would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Given the specifications for a compact and efficient system, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are agile and innovative may find a competitive advantage in this procurement process. ## Notice new autoclave will require delivery and installation by the supplier and will be located in the HSE Buxton laboratory block (autoclave room, L.2.24). The equipment will need to be delivered directly to that room by the supplier on an agreed date for installation. The delivery will require contractor engineering input for installation purposes (to be included in quotation) and will also require HSE's on-site Interserve Facilities Management engineering assistance/oversight to ensure that building services are available and appropriate for the item to be plumbed in to water supply and drainage etc. These utilities should already be available as the old autoclave also required similar connectivity. The autoclave must meet all UK pressure vessel and electrical safety standards and because HSE Buxton must treat hazard group 3 microbiological waste the autoclave must be capable of routinely treating bagged biohazard waste at 131oC for up to 1 hour. The purchased item must be a floor standing autoclave (steam sterilization) system that will be located in a dedicated wash/autoclave room at HSE, Buxton, Derbyshire (SK17 9JN). Space within the autoclave room is limited, requiring the installation of a compact system (see images of system to be replaced, below; this is also where the new system will be located). Steam/odour extraction is already in place above the system and the maximum available footprint for this floor standing system beneath the LEV is likely to be: 1.0 m x 1.25 m. NB. This includes any space required to the side of the autoclave to permit lid opening if a top loading, swing open lid is present.
