Descriptions

York Teaching Hospital Facilities Management provides a comprehensive range of facilities and estates services to healthcare providers throughout York and North Yorkshire.Our annual turnover is £108.4m. We cover eight hospital sites (York, Scarborough, Bridlington, Malton, Selby, Easingwold and two rehabilitation units, Whitecross Court and St Helens) and have a workforce of just over 1,000 staff working across our hospitals and in the community. Our work ensures that facilities, projects and contracts are managed efficiently, correctly, on time and on budget.York Teaching Hospital Facilities Management (YTHFM) has for many years used the Continuum as main the main system for hospital BMS including heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and security system first developed in 1998 by Andover Controls.This system is now unable to be support by brand new hardware although a strategy has been developed to release spare parts from upgrades and it is envisaged that Continuum will need to remain operational for the entire length of the contract.There are also a number of other systems in place within the Estate that require maintenance and improvement, most notably the Cylon system at Selby War Memorial Hospital.The bidder is expected to provide staff with the technical knowledge and expertise to be able to maintain and modify the Continuum System and other legacy systems and that the percentage of the service requirement dedicated to the legacy systems is to be determined by YTHFM.As over 90% of the current installed BMS system uses Continuum hardware, it is envisaged that the maintenance of the Continuum system will be form the major proportion of the workload of any maintenance engineers in the near term. To be able to provide service to all the sites outlined on the Service Specification Document and commit to 52 service days per year that will require Service Engineer presence at York, Scarborough, Bridlington, Malton or Selby Hospital.The estimated contract spend is around £150-300,000 per annum dependent on the number of upgrades, budget constraints and business pressures.The contract term will be 5 years.
