• We are seeking to replace the three life science autoclaves currently in use including one pass through which serves CL3 suite and two other units serving CL2 laboratories. Our autoclaves are used daily to provide sterilisation and decontamination infection control management of operational and waste loads. They process liquid, porous, hard goods and loads including waste media (aligned to Hazard Group 3 minimum regulations). Volumes processed scale from 10 mls to 5 litres. The autoclaves must be capable of processing 36x20L of CL2 waste sacks plus 4x20L waste sacks of separate CL3 waste per 8h-working day. Note the full specification is included in the User Requirements Specification. The successful supplier will be required to specify utility infrastructure, provide drawings and confirm heat loads for new autoclaves. We will also require a five-year service contract. The autoclave will need to fit into the existing space in Autoclave Room and comply with all applicable building and safety regulations. The supplier must demonstrate that the design will be fit for purpose, promote sustainability and minimise energy and water consumption. The supplier must also provide evidence the project will be delivered to the highest standards including testing, and documents supplied must demonstrate the level of expertise, support and maintenance provided including reaction times to address potential issues.Value not stated
