76948 Invitation to register for a market dialogue for the presentation of a NO-gas inhalation system
Oslo University Hospital Trust (OUS) has an ongoing contract with a supplier for the delivery of a complete system for dosing nitrogen oxide (NO-gas) in patient treatment. This is a vital treatment for OUS. It is therefore important for us to start a process where we secure a new contract that can take over when the old one expires, which is during summer 2025 at the latest.
We would therefore like to hold a market dialogue for the presentation of your complete system for dosing NO-gas in patient treatment. Patient treatment with No-gas is planned in three of our clinics at two of our hospitals in OUS. We estimate that the contest will be announced in the third quarter of 2024.
In order to participate in the market dialogue, it is an absolute requirement (1) that suppliers have a marketing licence for NO-gas from the Norwegian Medicines Agency. It is also an absolute requirement (2) that equipment that is seen as medical equipment by the tender deadline in the contest has been conformity assessed and CE-marked, individually and in the system, in accordance with the Directive for Medical-Technical Equipment, cf. the law and regulations on medical equipment. Equipment that is certified in the system in accordance with Directive 93/42/EØF on other equipment medical (MDD) must be certified in accordance with the Medical Device Regulation 2017/745 (MDR) by the end of the transition period.
A complete system means a certified medical system that includes a dosing unit, necessary consumables, and NO-gas. The equipment must be able to be used on a patient for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension in emergency and semi-emergency phases, as well as for diagnostics. The patients are both adults, children and newborns.
OUS will consider to enter into a contract after the announced contest with potential suppliers that can offer a contract for operational leasing. In such a contract the tenderer will be responsible for providing a complete system, the necessary training, and service and maintenance of the equipment. Each unit in OUS will be responsible for paying the cost of specific use and interventions for each patient. Note that the financing form operational leasing will be our most probable choice. This then means that the tenderer must be able to offer and accept operational leasing.
In the market dialogue we will request a reference list of clinical resources that use your equipment. We would like such references to be in Scandinavia. 60-90 minutes will be set aside for each potential suppliers that is invited to the market dialogue. Suppliers must send a product specialist to answer questions from our clinicians and technical resources.
OUS invites you as a potential supplier to register for our market dialogue. The invitation to your participation in the market dialogue will come a few days after the registration deadline, which is Thursday 19 October 2023 at 12:00. The invitation presumes that the supplier fulfils our two absolute requirements (see 1 and 2 above). The market dialogue will be held as a physical dialogue meeting at OUS on Monday 6 November 2023.
