The procurement stage is at the planning phase, with a future notice date set for 8th December 2022. This tender falls under the industry category of services and aims to ensure the fit of Respiratory Protective Equipment for approximately 270 employees. This opportunity for businesses involves providing a face fit testing programme using the Ambient Particle Count method to East Lothian Council staff. Businesses in the respiratory protective equipment testing sector, specifically those experienced in fit testing services and qualified to conduct quantitative testing of RPE, are well-suited to compete for this contract. The procurement process presents a growth opportunity for businesses looking to establish relationships with a public authority for long-term testing and compliance services. ## Notice East Lothian Council is to seek a service provider to carry out tests to check the fit of Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE). The aim of the programme is to ensure that all employees who are required to wear tight fitting Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) receive a test to check the fit of the RPE and to identify an alternate make/model of RPE if needed. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The service will be to provide a face fit testing programme to all East Lothian Council staff (approximately 270 employees) where tight fitting respiratory Protective Equipment is required to be worn. Re-testing will be carried out on a 5-year basis unless there is a change to the RPE type, size, model or material or whenever there is a change to the circumstances of the wearer that could alter the fit of the RPE. The provider will carry out the testing using the Ambient Particle Count method, provide any additional instruction to our employees on the correct donning of their RPE, any recommendations and re-testing if alternate RPE is required as well as proof of their face fit test. The provider will be registered with Fit-2-Test in carrying out of quantitative testing of RPE. The Council will provide a range of locations where testing can be carried out for the initial tranche. It would be advantageous for any individual employees to attend the providers own premises following the initial bulk testing of approximately 270 employees. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV463287 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Nov 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 8 Dec 2022 | | 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 | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | EAST LOTHIAN COUNCIL | | Locality | HADDINGTON, EAST LOTHIAN | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH41 3HA | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM11 East Lothian and Midlothian | | Local authority | East Lothian | | Electoral ward | Haddington and Lammermuir | | Westminster constituency | Lothian East | | Delivery location | TLM73 East Lothian and Midlothian | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 18 - Clothing, footwear, luggage articles and accessories - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 18143000 - Protective gear - 35113400 - Protective and safety clothing - 71317200 - Health and safety services ## Release History - 3 Nov 2022 at 00:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV463287 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV463287 ELC-22-2741 Provision of Face Fit Testing using Ambient Particle Count Method - East Lothian Council is to seek a service provider to carry out tests to check the fit of Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE).
