Description

On 01 April 2013, the Birmingham Primary Care Shared Services Agency (BPCSSA) Estates team was split between BCHC and NHS Property Services (NHS-PS). As part of this restructure the physical estate and related services were allocated and transferred between the two organisations. With an in-house Estates Department BCHC has established a better understanding of the rationalised estate portfolio. BCHC intends to continue its strategy of centralisation of Facilities services and intends to establish robust, safe, efficient and cost effective contracts in order to support the clinical services provided The in-house Estates department is looking to continue contracting out the Electro-Biomedical Engineering (EBME) service encompassing a pro-active Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) programme, asset management and a breakdown/Reactive maintenance service.

Improve equipment life and avoid any unplanned maintenance activity. Decrease in equipment downtime and a linked reduction in the number of major repairs. Better conservation of assets and increased life expectancy of assets, thereby eliminating premature replacement of machinery and equipment. Reduced costs and more economical use of maintenance workers due to working on a scheduled basis instead of reacting on a crash basis to repair breakdowns. Timely, routine repairs should circumvent fewer large-scale repairs. Improved safety and quality conditions for everyone, both staff and patients.Previously the Trust has maintained separate contracts for the Electro-Biomedical Engineering (EBME) services split between the Hospitals and the Community.
