Lots

Lot Description: The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS), part of NHS National Services Scotland (NHS NSS) (“Health Board”) are commencing a Procurement Exercise for 1 (one) Clean Room Decontamination System including the supply, installation, validation, training, and associated maintenance required for the operation of the units, based at the Jack Copland Centre, Edinburgh. The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) is the specialist provider of safe high-quality blood, tissues and cells products and services in Scotland. The organisation’s priority is to ensure that NHS Scotland has enough blood to meet the transfusion needs of patients in Scotland. The current Clean Room Decontamination System within SNBTS has two Bioquell Z-2 units located at JCC that are used for routine decontamination of the CRS. Bioquell Z-2 systems provide a 6-log reduction (99.9999% elimination) of bioburden from every exposed surface in a selected zone and therefore represent a key element of TCAT-GMP’s routine cleaning and sanitisation regime. This is achieved using Vapour Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP). This Tender covers the purchase and installation of 1 (one) Clean Room Decontamination System. This includes the software, training, and equipment and associated maintenance required for their operation. The supplier shall act as the Principal Contractor and shall be responsible for the supply, installation and commissioning of the replacement system andassociated equipment.
