‘Provision of Mobile Breast Screening Trailer Units for Digital Mammography (FFDM)’
Dublin
The trailer will support all the functions of mobile breast screening. The trailer
must be as self-contained and self-supporting of the functions of the unit as
possible. The unit will visit designated sites with temporary or permanent service
connection points for power, water, drainage and data. As far as possible, the
technical and functional specification should be sufficiently compatible with our
existing units to provide for integration into our existing fleet.
The unit needs to be robust yet approachable and accessible to women aged 50-
70 years, the general public and the disabled. The interior design should convey a
bright, comfortable environment that is welcoming and reassuring. As such, the
equipment and furnishings must be hardwearing and of a high standard.
The entire lifetime of the mobile unit will be spent in all weather conditions and at
a variety of secure and insecure locations. The design should incorporate security
and vandal resistant features and should allow for a life expectancy of the unit of
at least ten years.
This unit will house Siemens digital mammography (DM) equipment. The
mechanical, electrical and environmental specifications for the operation of this
equipment are demanding and it is essential that your experience of previous
builds and current design proposals demonstrate a capability to ensure room
temperature is maintained in all weather conditions and in the event of mains
power loss.
The initial requirement is for the provision of one mobile unit in 2015 with a further
3 more units required throughout the lifetime of this agreement (4 years).
In order to be considered for award, service providers MUST be in a position to
deliver and commission a fully functional mobile breast screening trailer unit by no
later than Dec 2015, ideally by 30 Nov 2015.
The contracting authority does not guarantee that any minimum volume of product
or service will be procured as a result of this ITT.
