POW-FTS-62602 - Critical Ventilation Contract - PTHB

Powys Teaching Health Board (PTHB) require a suitably qualified contractor for the Service, testing and maintenance of all critical air plant. All work shall meet the HTM 03-01(2021) (Health Technical Memorandum) or the latest regulation/HTM if replaced/superseded including a WHTM.

PTHB is committed to maintaining high standards of health and safety, and operational efficiency across its facilities, recognising that servicing, testing and maintenance of all critical air plants is an essential component within the healthcare environments. To establish this, the Health Board seeks to establish a contract for comprehensive reactive/responsive maintenance (Corrective or Day-to-Day) to minor unplanned maintenance used for assets experiencing breakdown, failure or vandalism of a component.

The contractor will be responsible for cyclical maintenance (Preventative, Statutory and Non-Statutory Servicing), which is to be used to comply with statutory or manufacturer’s requirements and for building services. Services are to be undertaken at predetermined time intervals as required by statutory, technical or operational reliability considerations.

This may be applied to building structures, fabric, services and site improvements but is used predominantly for the maintenance of mechanical and electrical services. This will be required to be completed on a period not exceeding six months.

In addition, the contractor will provide emergency call-out works as a fundamental part of the contract, where all call outs must be visited within six hours of receiving the call. The contract will be structured as a service and maintenance agreement for a fixed term of three years, with annual review points and the potential for two annual extensions based on performance, compliance, and funding availability.

Performance-based monitoring will ensure the contractor remains accountable for maintaining systems within regulatory limits. The contractor will be required to operate in full compliance with all relevant legislation and standards, including the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
