Technical requirements: Sykehusinnkjøp HF, Division of Medicines (Norwegian: LIS) has previously published and implemented an open tender contest for tube nutrition other medical nutrition (‘LIS 2104 Sondeernæring og andre medisinske næringsmidler’, the competition). The competition includes products in accordance with the tender documentation, annex 3 — the Price sheet. The competition for the one lot stated in this notice, the product category ‘Tube nutrition for infants and premature babies’ was unsuccessful and therefore had to be cancelled. For the product Pre nan discharge, there are no equivalent products and consequently no competition.
LIS intends to enter into contracts between the regional health trusts (the Contracting Authorities) and Nestlé Norge (the Supplier) as a supplementary contract to LIS 2104. I.e., the scope and length of the contract will follow the mentioned procurement (including access to extensions and terminations), without a new contest being held for this ingredient. The health companies that are under the regional health trusts have an option to enter into the contracts.
LIS has explored the market situation and is of the opinion that it is not possible to hold a new competition or that a supplier other than Nestlé Norge can deliver the product in the same contract period, and that the situation that has occurred is not the contracting authority’s fault, nor something that the contracting authority could foresee. LIS therefore believes that there are grounds to make the procurement without a competition. See the public procurement regulations §21-5, c.f § 21-2, c.f. § 13-4 letter b no. 3 and letter cf. also § 13-3 letter e.
LIS requests that those who have objections to this submit feedback before the 10-day waiting period expires. If no objections are received, contracts will be signed after the waiting period has expired.
