Technical requirements: New Stavanger University Hospital — Voluntary Ex-ante Transparency Notice for K5403 Patient Signalling System for an Extension of the E-building
Helse Stavanger HF c/o Nye SUS announced Contract K5403 Patient Signalling System on 12 June 2019. This contract is for the delivery of a transverse patient signalling system for patient rooms and wards. OneCo Technologies AS won the contest and the contract was signed in January 2020.
The financing for the expansion of the Building E was approved by the Ministry of Health and Care Services in October 2020, and the buildings for Nye SUS were extended by 20 000 m
Helse Stavanger HF now intends to extend the contract with OneCo Technologies AS for the necessary additional delivery, including the delivery of a security system for the extended building.

The financing for the expansion of the Building E was approved by the Ministry of Health and Care Services in October 2020, and the buildings for Nye SUS were extended by 20 000 m
Helse Stavanger HF now intends to extend the contract with OneCo Technologies AS for the necessary additional delivery, including the delivery of a security system for the extended building. The contract extension is a supplement of contract services that OneCo Technologies AS have already been contracted to deliver, and technically, only this supplier can deliver the service in question. The system must be integrated and function with the patient signalling system used in the rest of the hospital, and it is important that all users, both patients and employees find the same user interface (both equipment and functionality) independent of where they are in the hospital. The best way to ensure this is to have the same type of equipment in all areas. The entire system is integrated with the joint message server IMATIS. We have, therefore, a strong desire for the entire hospital to use the same equipment.
A potential situation with two suppliers for equivalent deliveries could expose, amongst others, the operations department at the hospital and patients to an unacceptable risk of technical error, and add a very demanding interface with the existing installations.
Helse Stavanger HF and OneCo Technologies AS have entered into a contract for the delivery of a patient signalling system, and the expansion/continuation of the installations in question therefore makes up necessary additional deliveries that were not included in the original contract, and which can be legally included pursuant to the Public Procurement Regulations, Section 28-1 (1), letter c.
The reason for wanting to expand the existing contract is of both a technical and financial character, and is justified as the additional delivery must be compatible and it must be possible to integrate it with the hospital's other installations, and that there is identical user interface independent of where you are in the hospital. In addition, a change of supplier would lead to considerable technical challenges and significant extra costs for the contracting authority.
A change of supplier cannot occur for technical reasons, and the term in the Public Procurement Regulations, Section 28-1, first paragraph, letter c, is this fulfilled. Voluntary ex-ante transparency notice in accordance with the Public Procurement Regulations, Section 21-5 c.f. Section 28-1, first paragraph, letter c. The contract will be signed at the earliest 10 days after this notice is published.
See the description of the procurement. The contract will be signed at the earliest 10 days after this notice is published.
