Technical requirements: Voluntary ex-ante transparency notice - multifunctional defibrillators for the University Hospital of North Norway
Voluntary ex-ante transparency notice on a framework agreement with Medidyne AS for the procurement of multifunctional defibrillators and equipment-dependent consumables.
Sykehusinnkjøp HF intends, on behalf of the University Hospital of North Norway, to enter into a framework agreement with Medidyne AS for the supplementary procurement of multifunctional defibrillators, including a framework agreement for equipment-dependent consumables. The framework agreement for equipment will be valid for 2+1+1 year, the framework agreement for consumables will be valid or 7+1+1+1 year (the equipment's lifetime). The estimated scope of the equipment procurement of defibrillators in the contract period is 10 units, maximum 20 units. The estimated cost of the consumables and licences for 10 years is NOK 8.9 million excluding VAT, maximum NOK 11.5 million excluding VAT. The tentative date for signing the contract is 18.02.2022.
Sykehusinnkjøp HF intends, on behalf of the University Hospital of North Norway (UNN), to enter into a framework agreement with Medidyne AS for the supplementary procurement of multifunctional defibrillators, including a framework agreement for equipment-dependent consumables. The framework agreement for the equipment will be valid for 2 + 1 + 1 year.
All of the advanced defibrillator equipment at UNN was replaced in 2018 with a model type from Medidyne AS. Specialists within anaesthesia need a uniform defibrillator park, as this is highly complex time-critical equipment. It is very important that the specialists have as much predictability as possible when treating cardiac arrests. It is vital that the cardiac arrest equipment is standardised and that the personnel have good knowledge of all the equipment so as to provide optimum treatment. Standardised and uniform instruments are therefore vital for patient safety.
This type of defibrillator has an estimated lifetime of 10 years. It is therefore important that the hospital is assured access to equipment-dependent consumables and other additional equipment that is required so that the equipment can function throughout its lifetime. This is supplier-dependent equipment from Medidyne AS, competition is therefore impossible due to technical reasons, as only one specific supplier can deliver. cf. PPR 13 (4) b (2).
Furthermore, there is no need to replace the equipment before the equipment is nearing the end of its lifetime of 10 years. As all the equipment was replaced in 2018, there is no need for any replacements within the framework agreement period, cf. FOA section 11-1 (4), only a need for supplements in the case of breakages, etc. As uniform equipment is vital for the specialists, and all the equipment was recently replaced, it is, therefore, not in line with the purpose of the law to secure the most efficient use of resources by replacing the equipment before the end of its lifetime, cf. LOA section 1.
