The contract aims to ensure compliance with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations by providing thorough examination and testing services across multiple locations, including the city's university campus and outlying facilities. The procurement stage is in the planning phase, with a submission deadline extended to 12 pm on 29th June 2021. The Newcastle University is situated at Kingsgate, Newcastle, UK, and this procurement falls under the architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services industry category. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental health and safety services, particularly those with capabilities in maintaining and repairing ventilation systems. Companies that can demonstrate experience with regulatory compliance testing, fumigation, and overall facility management would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The selected supplier will play a critical role in managing the comprehensive testing programme across various university locations, potentially leading to a long-term partnership with Newcastle University. ## Notice Newcastle University own and use multiple Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems such as fume hoods, Microbiological Safety Cabinets (MSCs) and numerous, often bespoke, systems including capture hoods and booths. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 require LEV systems to undergo a thorough examination and test every 14 months by a competent person. To ensure regulatory compliance the University wishes to engage with a demonstrably competent supplier to assist with the management of our LEV systems by providing thorough examination and tests, fumigation and repair services including the provision of building-wide surveys and action planning. Testing is required in multiple buildings within the city centre campus and outlying sites including, but not limited to, the University farms at Cockle Park and Nafferton and the Dove Marine facility in Cullercoats (See Appendix 1 Campus Map and Appendix 2 Number of LEV). LEV systems are grouped by building but can also be grouped by the Unit (School/Institute/service) that owns and is responsible for the system(s). One building may house systems owned by multiple Units. End user contacts are assigned to each LEV system and this is based on the Unit to which the LEV belongs. The scope of the contract is to establish a framework agreement with one supplier appointed to deliver the entire service as described in the technical specification (Section 3). The supplier will be appointed based on the award criteria stated in Section 2.5. The chosen supplier will be required to carry out University-wide management of our LEV systems including servicing according to Regulation 9 of COSHH, repair, fumigation and building-wide surveys at the locations stated in Section 2.2 and appendix 2. Please note the numbers of LEV systems is subject to fluctuations. No warranties can be given as to the exact number of LEVs are to be serviced or fumigated each year. The management of our LEV systems includes whole scale management of the testing programme. Once provided with the details of LEV equipment, scope of works, locations and contacts the preferred contractor will manage the whole process to ensure the scope of works are completed. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/011784-2021 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 May 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY | | Locality | NEWCASTLE | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE1 7RU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC43 Tyneside | | Local authority | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Electoral ward | Monument | | Westminster constituency | Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ## Release History - 27 May 2021 at 09:03 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/011784-2021 ## Notice URLs - https://www.ncl.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
