Technical requirements: Helse Sør-Øst would like to introduce joint standard procedures for foster monitoring in the region. This includes work processes, as well as the use of CTG with the accompanying monitoring and data acquisition. This procurement is for tools for monitoring and data acquisition.
Helse Sør-Øst currently has several different models for how work connected to foster monitoring is organised and executed. Both work processes and the use of tools to support this varies between the individual trusts and between the maternity departments within the same trust.
Helse Sør-Øst would like to change this and implement standard procedures for foster monitoring in the region. This includes the use of CTG, with accompanying monitoring and data acquisition. A standardised system would:
— improve patient safety through an increased degree of monitoring and standardisation of joint clinical work processes,
— lead to quicker and more efficient responses from Sykehuspartner as the operations supplier, as the number of electronic systems connected to foster monitoring would be reduced,
The different trusts currently have somewhat different practices in the use of CTG. Sometimes these function as stationary units, other times they are connected together in a network with a joint monitoring tool, and in the last case, they are also integrated via the monitoring tool to the regional birth journal in Helse Sør-Øst (Csam Partus).
Helse Sør-Øst would like the use of CTG to be standardised, and there must be an equal offer to patients in all trusts in cases where CTG must be used. This means that one CTG monitoring tool in the region must be standardised, both for monitoring the individual CTG apparatuses and for data acquisition.
There are 8 trusts in Helse Sør-Øst. 6 of these currently use Milou as the monitoring tool, and 3 of these have also integrated Milou with the regional birth journal. Helse Sør-Øst has the following requirements for a future standardised monitoring tool for CTG in the region:
— it must be a system that can be connected to CTG apparatuses from different suppliers without having to procure extra components,
— the system must be able to handle the latest version of OS and database, as well as the previous main versions of these,
— the aim is reduced costs for the RHF, and any replacement costs will have to be included in the calculation.
Helse Sør-Øst intends to enter into a SSA-T contract for the procurement and implementation, as well as a SSA-V for maintenance of the system. Regarding maintenance, the tenderer will be required to:
— provide services in accordance with the signed SLA contract (response times, solution times, etc.), which will be prepared between the contracting authority and the tenderer. Some of these can require physical presence at the contracting authority,
Relevant tenderers who can offer a system that covers the described need are asked to register their interest via the communication module i Mercell by Tuesday 10 March, 9.00. Short information must be submitted on the company/tenderer, a description of the offered system, as well as information on/where the system is currently used.
Relevant tenderers must also refer to reference installations where the core elements in the system have been in operation for a long period of time.
