Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: The Centre for Laboratory Medicine at Østfold Hospital Trust publishes analysis results for 122,000 vitamin D analyses annually on 2 LC-MS/MS systems. In addition, standards/calibrators and controls are analysed, which total approx. 30,000. Some re-analyses are also carried out. Approximate total of 160,000 injections annually.
The estimated total volume is approx. 80,000 injections per year per system including patient samples, calibrators, controls and re-analyses. Approx. 61,000 of these are patient samples.
Vitamin D is currently analysed on 2 LC-MS/MS systems that utilise "Stream-select", so that the samples from 2 LCs are injected alternately on the same MS/MS. (totalling 4 LCs and 2 MS/MSs).
Laboratories want to replace one of the two systems and aim to enter into a loan agreement for 1 LCMSMS for the analysis of vitamin D to cover the need for 60,000 vitamin D analyses.
The financing model must be based on price per approved sample result. Reagents for sample preparation, controls, calibrators, mobile phases, columns etc. are not part of this tender.
The loan agreement will have a duration of four (4) years from the date of commencement. The contracting authority can extend the contract for one (1) year at a time for up to two (2) years. The maximum contract period is six (6) years (4+1+1).
