Continuing contract for a top system for a Central Control and Monitoring System that will safeguard managing and monitoring of central function connected to Østfold Hospital’s technical infrastructure.
Continuing contract for a top system for a Central Control and Monitoring System that will safeguard managing and monitoring of central function connected to Østfold Hospital’s technical infrastructure. This includes, amongst other things:
- Administration of communication systems for building automation and a top system in accordance with the contracting authority's communication and network structure.
The contracting authority has the top system TAC Vista for all its locations, but now needs to upgrade the top system due to EOL problems so that daily operations and future needs for rehabilitations and developments are taken care of. Due to technical functionality and complexity, as well as a high degree of compatibility with the current field automation, the existing top system from Schneider is considered to be the only real and reasonable alternative. The contract does not include field automation with components.
Performance that only a specific supplier can provide based on technical reasons, cf. the PPR section 13-4 b) point 2 and the supplier has exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights for parts of the need, cf. PPR section 13-4 b) point 3.
The tenderer already supplied the top system TAC Vista for all locations, and Østfold Hospital has a need to upgrade the entire system. The top system has been developed and adapted to Østfold Hospital's operations concept and standards over time, and there are no other reasonable alternative solutions that can cover the need without comprehensive technical development and risk for operational liability. The upgrade includes a migration of the existing images and functionality.
The top system/Central Control and Monitoring System, regulates and monitors security critical or business critical functions in Østfold Hospital's buildings and properties. Østfold Hospital's need is complex and compound, and a new supplier will have a significant high replacement cost in terms of value, time, and security.
The system and associated organisation must fulfil the requirements that Østfold Hospital has for IT security and backup functionality in order to avoid industrial espionage, loss of security critical data, and terror/sabotage.
The existing top system has 100% seamless functionality with a number of existing installations that have unmentionable value for the entity. These solutions are proprietary and cannot be replaced  if another top system is delivered.
The existing system fulfils Østfold Hospital's requirements for a top system/Central Control and Monitoring System in relation to flexibility, functionality, stability, and availability. This concerns user interface, but also down to process/programming level. Specially adapted to Østfold Hospital's needs, a basic system that has been developed over a long time. The functionality is specially adapted and additionally programmed. The site contains a lot of research and different rooms with complex needs (surgery, laboratory, pharmacy etc.).
These are major complex and high-technology systems that require competence that is built up over a long time.e The competence requirements can be split into digital competence in software, and IT structure and competence in the installation, function, and techniques in the field. Competence must be available at both the supplier and at Østfold Hospital's operational organisation.
