Magnetic resonance scanners

Tender description

Contract for the supply, delivery and installation of a new or refurbished MRI scanner, together with the supply, delivery and positioning of an off-site manufactured building solution to house the scanner and link corridor/walkway. This requirement is not divided into Lots due to the need to coordinate the different contractors for the lots could seriously risk undermining the proper execution of the contract. Bidders must self-certify their adherence to selection and exclusion criteria via the ESPD (Scotland) on PCS-T. Suppliers may be required to submit Means of Proof at a later stage. When completing the ESPD, bidders must have regard for the specific selection requirements detailed in Sections III of this OJEU Notice. This requirement includes the provision of a new or refurbished minimum 1.5T MRI scanner and external, weather proof, and secure facility to house the scanner. The facility must include a faraday caged scan room, control room and plant room, provided as a turnkey package. We anticipate the facility will be required for 5 to 7 years in the first instance, however this timescale could increase; as such the tendered system and facility must have the necessary longevity and durability to account for this. The facility will be staffed by our own imaging specialists, including MR trained staff. This requirement is not divided into Lots due to the need to coordinate the different contractors for the lots could seriously risk undermining the proper execution of the contract.
