Technical requirements: Voluntary ex-ante transparency notice: Nutrition and medicament system for premature and newborn (full-term) babies for the health trusts in Helse Vest
Sykehusinnkjøp divisjon Vest, on behalf of Helse Vest, intends to enter into a framework agreement for a nutrition and medicament system for premature and newborn (full-term) babies with Vygon (Norway) AS. The system, Nutrisafe 2, consists of compatible syringes, nutrition tubes, protection plugs, adapters, extension tubes, and retracting straws for premature and full-term babies.
Objections to the contract being signed for the nutrition and medicament system for premature and newborn babies must be sent to Sykehusinnkjøp, c/o consultant Marte Kahrs by 02.05.2022
The national and European standard recommends using Enfit connections for nutrition tubes and accessories. The treatment of premature and newborn babies often requires small doses of medicaments and nutrition that is to be administered, less than 0.1 ml. Nutrisafe 2 has a cap system with small lumen in the connection point between the syringe and tube, and a more adapted system for micro-dosing compared to the Enfit system.
The contracting authority would like to have a fully compatible system that is calculated per oral nutrition and for the administration of medicaments for premature and full-term babies. Patient safety can be reduced with two or more different system in a department due to errors in use. The contracting authority has not found other suppliers than Vygon (Norway) AS that can offer a complete set of the Nutrisafe 2 system.
Based on the above reasons, the contracting authority believes that there is the legal basis to enter into a framework agreement for the Nutrisafe 2 system, which consists of syringes, nutrition tubes, protection plugs, adapters, extension tubes, and retraction straws with Vygon (Norway) AS without announcing a contest, cf. the Public Procurement Regulations, Section 13-4 first paragraph letter b, 2nd point.
This voluntary ex-ante transparency notice is thus published, cf. the Public Procurement Regulations, section 21-5.
