Automated Endoscope Reprocessing Solutions for Canterbury Hospitals

We, the Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB), intend to appoint one supplier to deliver two Automated Endoscope Reprocessing solutions; One at Christchurch Hospital and one at Ashburton Hospital (each one being a Solution).

This will include submitting a concept design showing your proposed layout of the available spaces and how your equipment will fit into these; supplying, delivering, installing and commissioning your equipment; providing training and maintenance for your equipment. We will separately source the construction works required for the Solutions.

Installation of both Solutions will need to occur late December 2019 with the possibility to extend into January 2020. This timeframe is required due to the availability of another reprocessing facility so endoscopy procedures can continue whilst the existing facilities are decommissioned.

Please note, the exact timing of installation of your equipment will depend on the time required to carry out any building works in advance of installation commencing. The Christchurch Solution is envisioned to be composed of between five and twelve reprocessing units (pass-through design), drying cabinets and traceability software.

The Ashburton Solution is envisioned to be similar to the Christchurch Solution except in its scale; it will have two reprocessing units (pass-thru design) and two drying cabinets.
