(NU/1471) The Provision of Servicing, Maintenance, Repair and Fumigation for LEV Systems

Newcastle University own and use multiple Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems such as fume hoods, Microbiological Safety Cabinets (MSCs) and numerous, often bespoke, systems including capture hoods and booths. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 require LEV systems to undergo a thorough examination and test every 14 months by a competent person. To ensure regulatory compliance the University wishes to engage with demonstrably competent suppliers to provide thorough examination and tests, fumigation and repair services for the LEV systems. Testing is required in multiple building within the city centre campus and outlying sites
