VENTILATION SYSTEM VERIFICATION
Five public documents downloaded; full-pack completeness unverified · C484527 · checked 2026-10-26
The matching Atamis page exposes five readable files without sign-in. The ITT includes specification and scored questions. Selected fit points were reviewed; current clarifications and complete response obligations remain to check.
- Mandatory site visit before tender submission: non-attendees are excluded (ITT Annex 3, section 11.1). Arrange through the buyer portal; the timetable lists the week beginning 26 October.
- Call-outs: attendance on site within four hours of receiving the call (ITT Annex 3, section 13.2). Check actual staffing and travel, not just a region match.
- Competence and training evidence is required with the bid; section 8.3 allows a selection at bid stage and requires all records from the successful bidder. See Annex 3 sections 7.11.4 and 8.3.
- HTM03-01 Part B hospital ventilation verification and specification compliance are required. Annex 4 permits a similar-sized non-hospital example; do not treat hospital history as an absolute exclusion.
- Annex 2 section 4.1 permits alternatives to audited accounts; section 6.3 permits an explanation if no contract example can be provided. No numeric minimum turnover was established in these reviewed clauses.
- RESET membership and pre-induction costs fall to the contractor; the subscription amount remains unknown (Annex 3 sections 3.5, 7.11.3 and 8.5).
- Four years plus two two-year options; 45% price, 45% quality and 10% social value. Annex 3 section 7.3 states no commitment to spend, guaranteed work or exclusivity.
- The specification refers to a separate organogram and an Estates contractor code of practice. All referenced annexes and live clarifications must still be reconciled against the portal inventory.
Deadline discrepancy: the buyer portal displays 18 November 2026 at 12:00; the official notice shows 17:00. Do not assume the later time applies. Check the buyer’s current clarification.

- Four-hour on-site call-out response: The KPI requires attendance on site within four hours of receiving the call. Check travel and staffing for the actual hospital sites. ITT Annex 3 §13.2 ↗
- Training evidence with the submission: Competency and training records are required. Section 8.3 permits a selection at bidding stage, with all required records from the successful bidder; omission can invalidate the bid. ITT Annex 3 §§7.11.4, 8.3; Annex 4 training question ↗
- Check permitted financial and experience alternatives: Alternatives to two years of audited accounts are listed. If no contract example is available, section 6.3 allows an explanation. These routes do not establish that the buyer will accept your evidence. Annex 2 §§4.1, 6.1, 6.3 ↗
