Award criteria: The most economic tender

Technical requirements: 1, 2 and 3 — this tender will be evaluated on this costing model for the most economically advantageous with considerations to whole life costing. The Authority reserves the right to award on a lot by lot basis and to part award within the lots.
While functioning like a normal pacemaker to treat slow heart rhythms, a CRT-P device also delivers small electrical impulses to the left ventricle to improve the coordination of ventricular contraction. A CRT-P system consists of the pulse generator (device) and pacing leads that are in contact with the inner wall of the right atrium, the right ventricle and an additional lead positioned within the coronary sinus.
Devices should offer a rate response option (dual sensor or physiological response sensor), with a maximal programmable sensor rate and ability to adjust sensitivity of response.
Devices must have options that allow minimised ventricular pacing via algorithms that allow an extension of AV delays/ability to switch from atrial based to ventricular based pacing upon detection of AV block.
Automatic self-lead checks with viewable trends and alerts for measurements outside programmed ranges.
Full range of pacing modes including DDD, VVI, DDI as well as those needed to meet the requirements already stated above.
Diagnostics: must include HR graph, % pacing and HF information (e.g. rate variation, activity levels, thoracic impedance).
Ideally compatible with home monitoring Multiple options for output to include automatic selection in line with daily lead checks. Manual options to allow for output and pulse width changes ideally from <1V up to max output in increments of up to 0,5 V (increment doesn’t have to cover entire output range, but ideally up to at least 5 V).
Ideally offer a threshold test feature that allows quick assessment of all programmable LV configurations.
There will be a requirement for standalone generators to be purchased for box change procedures. These will need to be a mix of full body MRI conditional devices to maintain currently MRI compatibility and non MRI for those patients with non MRI leads. Generators must fulfil all of the other criteria above (C. 1).
CRT-P generators used for box change will need to cover all combinations of lead connectors, including IS-4 and IS-1 connections for LV leads.
An insertable Cardiac monitor that allows home ECG monitoring of patients with suspected cardiac arrhythmias or unexplained syncope.
Must be supplied with remote monitoring that enables both patient activated and automatic download on detection of events.
The Contracting Authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
