## About this tender

new autoclave will require delivery and installation by the supplier and will be located in the HSE Buxton laboratory block (autoclave room, L.2.24). The equipment will need to be delivered directly to that room by the supplier on an agreed date for installation.

The delivery will require contractor engineering input for installation purposes (to be included in quotation) and will also require HSE's on-site Interserve Facilities Management engineering assistance/oversight to ensure that building services are available and appropriate for the item to be plumbed in to water supply and drainage etc. These utilities should already be available as the old autoclave also required similar connectivity.

The autoclave must meet all UK pressure vessel and electrical safety standards and because HSE Buxton must treat hazard group 3 microbiological waste the autoclave must be capable of routinely treating bagged biohazard waste at 131oC for up to 1 hour.

The purchased item must be a floor standing autoclave (steam sterilization) system that will be located in a dedicated wash/autoclave room at HSE, Buxton, Derbyshire (SK17 9JN). Space within the autoclave room is limited, requiring the installation of a compact system (see images of system to be replaced, below; this is also where the new system will be located). Steam/odour extraction is already in place above the system and the maximum available footprint for this floor standing system beneath the LEV is likely to be: 1.0 m x 1.25 m.

NB. This includes any space required to the side of the autoclave to permit lid opening if a top loading, swing open lid is present.
