The contracting authority reserves the right, upon the expiry of the initial contract, to award three subsequent contracts governing the support and maintenance of the equipment, each of 12 months in duration, until the obsolescence of the tendered equipment. It is emphasised that no guarantee is offered, nor should any such guarantee be inferred, regarding the award of any additional contract beyond the initial 5 year period. The contracting authority shall consider matters such as the continued strategic appropriateness of the contract, the successful tenderer’s performance and budgetary matters in determining whether or not to award any additional contract.
For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum potential duration of this contractual agreement is 8 years (i.e., the initial 5 year period plus three potential extensions, each of 3 months in duration).
Tenders will be opened electronically by two staff members of Beaumont Hospital's Procurement Department on or shortly after 3 April 2020.
The contracting authority undertakes that this contract will not be concluded until a period of 14 calendar days has elapsed, commencing on the day after the date of notification of all concerned tenderers. This statutory ‘standstill period’ is being observed in accordance with the provisions of S.I. 130 of 2010.
