## Notice

A part of the The National Oceanography Centre's (NOC) Long Term Maintenance (LTM) programme of work, the lifecycle replacement of an Air Handling Unit (AHU) serving NOC's IT Suite and Server Room is a critical project. The existing unit is over 25 years old, at the end of its normal working life, and requires a lifecycle replacement. The replacement air handling unit, will provide the required volume flowrates, temperature, humidity, pressure regimes and noise levels for each of the rooms served by the existing air handling unit. Further, it is expected that the new unit be installed in the same position as the existing air handling units. The performance and duty of the new unit will, at a minimum, match the original design values and design intent. The awarded contractor is required to remove and safely dispose/recycle the existing unit, build, install and commission the new AHU and undertake all associated works required under the specification.
