Technical requirements: Sykehuset i Vestfold HF (Vestfold Hospital Trust) intends to enter into a contract for upgrading of the injury laboratory — contract signing without the announcement of a competition.
— additional deliveries will be procured with the original supplier and the additional delivery will partially replace the current installations.
Lab 4 in Tønsberg is an injury laboratory used for all types of examinations of both children and adults. The laboratory is in use year round and round the clock (24/7). The laboratory shall be functional for all types of examinations and all types of patients. i.e. patients in wheelchairs, patients on trolleys, patients in beds and walking patients. It must be possible to take pictures, also inserted pictures in beds, on trolleys, on x-ray tables and against a wall bucky. We must have several types of detectors of varying sizes with the accompanying screens. We will also carry out many special examinations, such as scoliosis and bone length measurements in the laboratory. This also requires a lot of extra equipment in order to able to stitch together x-ray pictures.
The reason for selecting the procedure “contract signing without announcement of a competition”: Public Procurement Regulations § 13-4 c, Terms for procurements without a competition (extract): the Contracting Authority can implement a procurement without a competition if the Contracting Authority will enter into a goods contract for additional deliveries with the original supplier. The additional deliveries will be calculated to either partially replace deliveries or installations or to expand the existing deliveries or installations. This only applies when a change of supplier will force the Contracting Authority to procure goods with technical characteristics that are incompatible with the original deliveries or installations, or that will make operation and maintenance disproportionately technically difficult.
On this basis, on behalf of Vestfold Hospital Trust, the South Eastern Division of Sykehusinnkjøp HF wants to enter into a contract with Decotron AS for these additional deliveries.
