Working within live and operational engineering plantrooms and boiler rooms.
The contractor must appoint their own suitably qualified Boiler & Pressure Systems Authorised Person (AP) to write and produce the safe systems of work, risk assessments and to manage the issuing of permits to work. The contractors staff undertaking any physical works on the University's PSSR assets must be suitably trained and qualified as a competent person (CP), or as a skilled person (SP) in Boiler & Pressure Systems.
The university`s ECS Directorate follows the Ministry of Defence safe system of work (SSOW) for Boiler and Pressure Systems.

The contractor must similarly follow this MOD SSOW or alternatively, provide evidence of utilising an alternative equal and approved, or enhanced SSOW for boiler and pressure systems.

- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
