Description

NHS Highland (NHSH) requires the provision of Domestic Mobility Equipment Servicing, Maintenance and Inspection Services to cover all PUWER and LOLER requirements. There are two main legal frameworks relating to the maintenance and inspection of community equipment. Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER). This involves bi-annual thorough examinations by legally competent staff. Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER). This often involves annual servicing by legally competent staff. Both these acts are underpinned by the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 which means that NHS Highland has a legal duty to mitigate the risks associated with their actions as far as is practicable. The requirement is for a service contract which services Domestic Mobility Equipment in Adult Social Care Domestic settings within NHSH. This contract will consist of the Annual PPM Servicing and Maintenance PUWER for Lifting, Stairlifts and Other Equipment and Bi Annual Thorough Examination LOLER for Lifting Equipment and Stairlifts. The contract will also consist of Annual PPM servicing and Maintenance PUWER community store equipment which is a new service for this contract.
