Technical requirements: The purpose of the procurement is to enter into a framework agreement for the purchase of floor-mounted anaesthesia apparatuses and an accompanying framework agreement for the procurements of equipment-dependent consumables for Stavanger Hospital Trust. An option is also to be offered for service and a service course. An option is also desired for relevant wearing parts/spare parts and equipment loans. The options will apply for as long as the equipment is in use.
Adjustments have been made in the following documents since the previous notice: Contest Provisions (including points 1.2, 1.4, 1.7, and 6.10), Annex 1 - Price Sheet (tabs Price Sheet Main Product, and Price Sheet Consumables), and Annex 2 - Requirements Specification (including requirements 13, 56, and 88). There are no changes to the other documents.
Relevant tenderers are asked to apply to qualify for the contest. See the Contest Provisions point 3.2 for information on which documents must be included in the qualification application.
The purpose of the procurement is to enter into a framework agreement for the purchase of floor-mounted anaesthesia apparatuses and an accompanying framework agreement for the procurements of equipment-dependent consumables for Stavanger Hospital Trust.
An option is also to be offered for service, cf. Annex 5 - Overview of Service Levels, and Service Course. An option is also desired for relevant wearing parts/spare parts and equipment loans. The options will apply for as long as the equipment is in use.
The scope of the Framework Agreement for equipment is estimated at 48 anaesthesia apparatuses for the entire health trust, including apparatuses for continued operation at existing hospitals in Våland. The scope of the Framework Agreement for equipment-dependent consumables is the amount of equipment-dependent consumables needed to cover an estimate of 25,000 anaesthesias per year.
The stated scope is an estimate for information to tenderers, and is not binding for the future contract volume.
The anaesthesia apparatuses are to be used for operations and procedures where anaesthesia is administered at Stavanger Health Trust.
Most of the apparatuses will be procured in connection with the move to the new hospital at Ullandhaug (New SUS), which is expected to be ready in autumn of 2024. So that the users can familiarise themselves with the apparatuses before the move, it is planned to procure approx. 4 anaesthesia apparatuses for the existing hospital at Våland for delivery in spring of 2024. Tenderers must therefore expect to provide training during this period as well as with later equipment deliveries.
The main delivery to New SUS is expected to take place in September/October 2024. The contracting authority reserves the right that it may take some time (months) before the trial run can be started after this delivery. The trial run will begin when New SUS opens for regular operation. The date of this will be shared as soon as the final decision is made regarding the date. The warranty period first begins after the trial period has been completed and Annex 7 - Acceptance Protocol After Trial Run has been signed by both parties, cf. Annex 4 - Special provisions for the procurement of equipment. For more information on the main delivery to the New SUS, please refer to Annex 5 - C.2.1 Technical Description.
The framework agreement for equipment can be extended for up to 1 year at a time, for a maximum combined contract period of 5 years. The contract will automatically be extended unless the contracting authority takes other initiatives. The contract includes equipment-dependent options that will be valid for as long as the equipment is in use at the contracting authority. The framework agreement for equipment-dependent consumables will have a duration for as long as the equipment procured under the framework agreement for equipment is in use.
Option for service, cf. Annex 5 - Overview of Service Levels, and Service Course. An option is also wanted for relevant wearing parts/spare parts, adapters, and loan equipment if relevant. The options will be valid as long as the equipment is in use at the contracting authority.
