Technical requirements: Machine washable medium-risk pressure relief mattresses with reinforced side walls and evacuation handles
The procurement object is the delivery of machine washable medium-risk pressure relief mattresses with reinforced side walls and evacuation handles to HUS Bridge Hospital, which will open in 2023. As mattress washing at Bridge Hospital will be performed in an automatic bed and mattress washing machine, the washable mattresses must be designed to withstand washing and mechanical chemical disinfection.
The Client will procure to HUS Bridge Hospital approximately two hundred and fifty (250) machine washable medium-risk pressure relief mattressess with reinforced side walls and evacuation handles. The first order, concerning approximately  two hundred and fifty (250) mattresses to HUS Bridge Hospital, must be delivered to the Client according to the delivery terms no later than 12.12.2022.
The procurement includes an option for purchasing similar mattresses for the Client’s other hospitals, because the Client is planning to buy an equivalent automatic bed and mattress washing machine for Meilahti Tower Hospital, the future Laakso Multi-Hospital, and Jorvi Hospital during the contract period. As an option the Client is planning to procure approximately 900-1500 machine washable medium-risk pressure relief mattresses with reinforced side walls and evacuation handles.
The quantities given in the call for tenders are based on preliminary assessments made by the Client and are not binding to the Client. The procurement does not include any obligation to purchase a certain quantity or provide the supplier with the sole right to supply the Client with the mattresses that are the procurement object.
The washing program used to wash the mattresses and beds is described in more detail in Annex 2 of the call for tenders “Washing program information and description”.
Also, as an additional information, a video of the washing process has been made and it is available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GZBOVSRRJc
