Buyer: Oslo Universitetssykehus HF (hovedenhet)
Country: NO
Contract type: Supplies
Procedure: Open procedure
CPV classification: 33111000: X-ray equipment
Submission deadline: 2022-09-26
Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: The contracting authority invites tenderers to a contest for the procurement of C-arms in the categories mini, compact, all-round, advanced, and 3D, for the health trusts in Helse Sør-Øst.
The framework agreement's value is estimated to be approx. 50 C-arms. The maximum need will be 70 C-arms. Due to varying needs in the region, and the fact that the contract covers five categories, it is difficult to give a precise estimate on the number in each category. Historical figures show that the largest need in the region has been for compact C-arms, followed by all-round C-arms, and advanced C-arms. We expect that fewer mini C-arms and 3D C-arms will be procured.
In addition an option must be offered for service contracts and services, and prices are to be given for additional equipment and service components.
The estimated volume is based on available statistics and is only indicative and not in any way binding for the Contracting Authority or the Tenderer.
