— the provision of associated hardware, including blood pressure monitors, weighing scales and spirometers,

The successful tenderer will develop and make available the required applications and ensure their support for a period of 4 years.

In the first instance, the successful tenderer will be required to develop and make available the required applications and to ensure their support for a period of 4 years following contract commencement. Thereafter, the contracting authority reserves the right to award individual contracts for the support and maintenance of the required applications, each of 12 months in duration, until the obsolescence of the applications or the expiry of a period of 10 years from contract commencement (whichever is the earlier). The contracting authority offers no guarantee, express or implied, regarding the extension of this contract beyond the initial 4 year period.
In accordance with Article 27.3 of Directive 2014/24/EU, the contracting authority is availing of shortened timescales in respect of this competition. The urgency associated with this requirement arises from the fact that the required applications will be used in an acute hospital setting and to safeguard the clinical wellbeing of transplant patients. On grounds of patient care, time is of the essence in respect of this competition.
Tenders shall be opened electronically by 2 staff of Beaumont Hospital's Procurement Department in the Procurement Office of Beaumont Hospital, Beaumont Road, Dublin 9, on or shortly after the closing date for tender submissions.
The contracting authority undertakes that this contract will not be concluded until a period of 14 calendar days has expired, commencing upon the day after the date of notification of all concerned tenderers. This 'standstill period' is being observed in accordance with the provisions of S.I. 130 of 2010.
