The equipment must charge cylinders remotely from an adjacent dedicated charging room. It requires a three-phase 400V supply and must deliver air compliant with the required breathing-air standard. The equipment is for Cornwall Airport in Cornwall. The purchase includes commissioning, testing and operator training, together with operating and maintenance manuals. The supplier must also provide a warranty and UK-based servicing and technical support. This is a supply contract for specialist breathing-air equipment, rather than a general compressor purchase. The buyer invited suppliers to submit quotations through an open competition under the Procurement Act 2023. The enquiry deadline was 16 October 2026 at 12:00 BST, and the submission deadline was extended to 23 October 2026 at 12:00 BST. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. The estimated value is £25,000 excluding VAT (£30,000 including VAT). There is one lot, which is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The winning offer is to be selected as the most advantageous tender. This requirement suits suppliers of breathing-air compressors and associated breathing-apparatus charging systems, particularly those able to supply and support equipment for an airport firefighting operation. The compressor must support remote cylinder charging, reach a maximum charging pressure of 300 bar and provide at least 320 litres per minute of free air. It must meet BS EN 12021 breathing-air quality requirements, carry UKCA marking and include automatic condensate drainage, pressure control, high-temperature and overpressure shutdown, and an emergency stop. Suppliers need to deliver installation commissioning, testing and operator training, and provide operating and maintenance manuals. A minimum 12-month warranty from commissioning and UK-based servicing and technical support are required; equivalent compliant equipment is permitted. ## Notice Corserv Solutions Ltd on behalf of Airport Ltd is undertaking the procurement of Replacement BA Compressor CAL invites suitably qualified suppliers to submit a quotation for the supply of the equipment in accordance with the requirements set out below.
