Provision of Maintenance Support Services for the Nottingham University Hospitals Trust Building Management Systems

The Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Client)'s building management systems (BMS) consists of software and hardware, which controls and monitors the mechanical and electrical equipment such as power systems, HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning), lighting, fire protection, and security systems within its various buildings.

In recent years, the functionality of BMS's has evolved to include energy efficiency and sustainability. For this reason, the Trust embarked on a project to roll out a BMS across its estate.

To support the day to day running of the systems, the Client both planned and ad-hoc (e.g. reactive) engineering support across all three campuses:

- Queens Medical Centre, Derby Road, Nottingham, NG7 2UH

- City Hospital, Hucknall Road, Nottingham NG5 1PB

- Ropewalk House, 113 The Ropewalk, Nottingham, NG1 5DU

The Client recently received significant funding via the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) to upgrade its Building Management Systems (BMS) at its property.

This project is currently ongoing and is estimated to be completed sometime during the 2nd half of 2024.

In addition, it has recently decided to create an in-house BMS team of two engineers and one engineering manager.

The Client therefore requires a Contractor to provide reliable support whilst the in-house team gets up to speed. In addition, there will be a significant requirement to carry out work that the in-house team does not have the capacity to carry out on an ongoing basis.

The existing BMS is composed of both Trend and Schneider systems. As a result the Client requires a Contractor to be approved to work on and experienced in working on both systems.

Any values or quantities quoted in these documents are given in good faith as a representation of past purchasing and current planning to assist you in submitting your offer. Therefore, should not be construed as an undertaking on behalf of the Client to infer, promise or guarantee the levels of work to be made available via the contract. The nature of the work, particularly unplanned reactive work, may result in expenditure exceeding the values quoted in the contract notice and the associated procurement documents. Therefore, the actual values may increase or decrease over the life of the contract dependant on grants, budgets, circumstances and requirements.

The duration of the contract is 24 months (The Initial Term), with the option to extend for a further 36 months, meaning the duration of the contract may be extended to a maximum of 60 months
