Technical requirements: St. Olavs Hospital HF would like to procure a new bone density measurer based on dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), as well as an option for 1 equivalent bone density measurer over a 3 year period. The bone density measurer will be used in the Endocrinology Department at the Medical Clinic. It will mainly be used for bone density measurements for diagnostics and follow-up of osteoporosis, but also to some degree it will be used for full body examinations of body composition. The equipment will measure bone density in both lumbalcolumna, hip, upper femur, and distale underarm, picturing the back in a side projection, and measuring trabecular bone score (TBS).
User friendliness, picture quality, and footprint are amongst the qualities that will be weighted the highest. The department's other bone density measurer is also expected to be replaced within a few years. As the department would, in the long term, like to have two bone density measurers of the same type, an option is wanted for a bone density measurer of the same type as that what is procured now.
The estimated value of the procurement including options is between NOK 2 million and NOK 2.6 million excluding VAT.
NB! Due to staff holidays, questions will not be answered in the period week 27 - 31 (04.07. - 07.08).
