Laboratory Steam Sterilisers (Autoclaves) and Associated Services and Maintenance
Canberra
There are nine laboratory steam sterilisers within the TGA laboratory facilities at Symonston ACT.
The TGA is seeking to remove one and to replace up to six of these sterilisers over the three-year period from 2017-2020, subject to internal business factors.
While the exact replacement schedule is yet to be determined, the expected minimum and maximum scope of work are:
Minimum Scope (notional): Removal of one steriliser (not replaced) plus removal and replacement of three sterilisers over a two-year period in two stages.
Maximum Scope (notional): Removal of one steriliser (not replaced) plus removal and replacement of six sterilisers over a three-year period in 3 stages.
The project comprises a number of Separable Work Items related to the decommissioning, removal and replacement of steam sterilisers (including maintenance) as set out in the Specification.
Note that each Separable Work Item may be procured separately under the Contract.
The TGA will be conducting an industry briefing (and associated site visit) concerning the RFT. Details of the industry briefing and site visit are available in the RFT document.
The Department’s standard requirements are located within 9.4 of the RFT.
The resultant contract is expected to commence in the second half of 2017, with the installation and commissioning of the first replacement steam steriliser completed by April 2018.
Additional Separable Work Items are expected to be ordered and delivered throughout the Initial Term of the contract, being 3 years from commencement.
The Draft Contract provides details of the maintenance requirements and option periods.
