Define the room brief
Document the intended procedures, room dimensions and workflow with the relevant clinical and engineering teams.
PLANNING RESOURCE
Modular operation theatre planning checklist
Organise room, equipment and service requirements before requesting an OT quotation.
Coordinate the equipment
Create a schedule of lights, pendants, tables and associated equipment. Identify mounting positions and building service interfaces.
Confirm related works
Clarify who is responsible for HVAC, electrical work, medical gases, civil work and commissioning. A clear scope reduces gaps between vendors.
Request a documented proposal
Ask for drawings, product specifications, exclusions, installation milestones and handover requirements for review.
General procurement guidance. Confirm all technical and contractual requirements for your project.
Assigning responsibility across the OT project
List the room package, HVAC, electrical work, medical gases and major equipment as separate coordination items. For each one, identify who designs, supplies, installs and reviews the work. A responsibility schedule helps expose gaps between different quotations.
Before procurement, ask the project team to review the room layout and the interfaces together. Record the agreed documents and any outstanding decisions. Changes to equipment or finishes should be reviewed for their effect on related packages before they are accepted.
