PRINCE GEORGE - UHN Medical Device Reprocessing Renovation

The MDR Department at Northern Health Authority is undergoing a critical renovation to address severe operational and compliance deficiencies. Currently operating beyond capacity with only two washer-disinfectors and insufficient sterile storage space, the department faces overcrowding and overflow issues highlighted by Accreditation Canada. Non-compliant wood and laminate cabinetry on clean and sterile sides violates CSA standards for non-porous, cleanable surfaces and must be fully replaced. The existing reverse osmosis system is obsolete and inadequate, failing to supply RO water to all required sinks—only one of four sinks currently receives RO water, while the remaining three must be integrated into the new system to comply with mandatory water quality standards for final rinses. The renovation will include the installation of a third washer-disinfector, expanded sterile storage to eliminate overflow, removal of all non-compliant cabinetry, upgraded prep and pack workstations with instrument tracking technology, and a complete replacement of the reverse osmosis system with full coverage to all MDR sinks. These improvements are essential to meeting accreditation requirements and restoring safe, efficient medical device reprocessing capabilities. The tender, titled PRINCE GEORGE - UHN Medical Device Reprocessing Renovation with solicitation number BCN662730001, was posted on April 27, 2026, with responses due by May 26, 2026, and is managed by the Government of Canada through the Northern Health Authority, with Eva Mencin listed as the primary contracting authority.
