2865 - The Supply, Installation, Support and Maintenance of Six Central Decontamination Washer Disinfector Units to Clean and Thermally Disinfect Reusable Invasive Medical Devices

To whom it may concern,

The Contracting Authority requires six hospital grade central decontamination washer disinfector units to clean and thermally disinfect reusable invasive medical devices. The equipment must seamlessly integrate with the national Track & Trace system.

Initially, the successful tenderer will be required to supply, install and commission the required equipment. Following the expiry of a warranty period of twelve months’ duration, a contract for the support and maintenance of the equipment of four years’ duration will be awarded. The Contracting Authority reserves the right, upon the expiry of this four-year contract, to award subsequent contracts governing the support and maintenance of the equipment, each of twelve months in duration, until the obsolescence of the tendered equipment.

This competition is being conducted by Beaumont Hospital to fulfil, in the first instance, Beaumont Hospital’s local requirements. However, the HSE, its funded agencies and other related organisations may make purchases on the terms of this contract.

In accordance with Article 27.3 of Directive 2014/24/EU, the Contracting Authority is availing of shortened timescales in respect of this competition. The urgency associated with this requirement arises from the fact that the required equipment will be used in an acute hospital setting. On grounds of patient care, time is of the essence in respect of this competition.
