    <cbc:Description languageID="ENG">The Contracting Authority would like tenders for fully automated immunohematology analyzers for delivery to Helse Vest RHF. Tenders are wanted for the following:
• 2 instruments for the Department of Immunology and Transfusion Medicine (AIT) at Haukeland University Hospital (HUS)
• 1 instrument for the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Pharmacology at Voss Hospital (MBF-Voss)
 
A framework agreement shall also be established for the purchase of equipment-dependent consumables; see Appendix 2.1 – Analysis Overview for the estimated annual analysis volume. The stated volume is an estimate provided for information to the tenderer and is not binding for future contract volume. For the calculation of the evaluation cost, the expected consumption for approximately 213,000 analyses annually shall be stated in accordance with the total estimated annual analysis volume specified in Appendix 2.1 – Analysis Overview.
Reference is made to Appendix 1 – Price Form and Appendix 2.1 – Analysis Overview for further information about the requested analyses.
 
Options shall also be offered for the following:
• 1 fully automated immunohematology analyzers for Helse Førde HF (Førde)
• 1 fully automated immunohematology analyzers for Helse Fonna HF (Fonna)
• 1 fully automated immunohematology analyzers for Haraldsplass Diaconal Hospital (HDS)
• On-site training
• Service agreements, cf. Appendix 9 – Overview of Service Levels
• Service courses (for biomedical engineering personnel)
Additional equipment for manual analysis at various workplaces:
• 10 centrifuges for manual technique (gel cards/columns)
• 11 incubators for manual technique (gel cards/columns)
• 6 gel card readers
 
Other options:
• 3 decision-support systems for antibody identification
• 5 monitoring systems
• 5 remote diagnostics solutions for analysis instruments
• 5 external UPS units (if not built-in)
 
The analyzers are being procured to replace existing instruments that must be replaced due to age.
The instruments/analyzers shall be used for analysis of samples from both patients and blood donors. This includes blood typing, antibody screening, phenotyping, crossmatching, DAT, antibody identification, and titration.
The instruments must be capable of handling the specified sample volume, assuming continuous operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with the majority of analyses performed during daytime hours between 07:00 and 18:00.
It is required that the same method can be used for manual analysis; therefore, the tender shall include an option for the necessary additional equipment for manual analysis. The stated options for centrifuges, incubators, and readers are standalone supplementary equipment and not integrated into the analyzer but must be compatible with the supplier’s other equipment and capable of being triggered as options when required.
For further description of purpose, scope, and intended use, tenderers are referred to Appendix 2 – Requirements Specification.</cbc:Description>
