Diagnostic devices. Long Range Wire Diagnostic Tool equipment. Manufacturers are invited to submit details of a handheld wire diagnostic tool (or set of tools) that is capable of making accurate diagnoses of wires from a standoff. The equipment must be able to operate in narrow or hard to reach areas with restricted movement.

The equipment must be capable of being used while wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) which may include gloves and safety goggles. The system(s) must be non-conductive and non-magnetic, and must be able to be prepared, deployed and used by a single individual.

In addition, the Authority requires a list of relevant spares and ancillaries to be provided for the in-service life of the equipment.

Interested parties should submit an expression of interest, which includes an appropriate scope covering this requirement, to the Authority's nominated representative. This should include, but is not limited to, a full technical description and details of the equipment.

Further to the above, and as a result of assessment of responses, the Authority may request samples of products that meet the above requirements as part of the tender process. These units will be required to be supplied on loan at no cost to the Authority in order to test compliance with the system requirements. Manufacturers would then be expected to supply a manufacturing delivery schedule for direct delivery to a nominated establishment in the UK.
