A copy of HTM 06-01 can be found via the link below: https://www\.england\.nhs\.uk/publication/electrical-services-supply-and-distribution-htm-06-01/ The objective is to ensure the Trust's UPS/IPS systems work efficiently and effectively to provide a tertiary supply in the event of disruption to power at either site The Term is 24 months to 30 June 2026 with the option to extend for a further 36 months\. This extension shall take the form of three 12 month incremental periods\. Both the IPS and the UPS play a critical role in acting as the tertiary power supply, ensuring the reliability and safety of a hospital's electrical infrastructure\. Together, these two components help to keep patients safe and provide continuity of care, even in the event of a power interruption\. To ensure the UPS & IPS systems operate safely and reliably, the Trust requires a contractor to provide regular planned preventative maintenance to mitigate risks of faults or failures occurring as well as reactive maintenance services, such as call outs\.
