Ultrasound apparatus EUS-machine for medical clinic STO
St. Olavs Hospital has decided to go to one of the. Ultrasound apparatus for medical use by the Department for Digestive and Liver Diseases, which shall cover both transabdominale ultrasound examinations and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). Resources have only been allocated to one apparatus, and the system must therefore be able to safeguard both areas of use. The department already uses 2 units. Olympus EUS scope in the clinical entity. In order to continue the use of these scopes without replacing the existing equipment, an ultrasound system is required that is compatible with the current EUS scope and endoscopic systems. Equipment from different manufacturers is not compatible with each other. Olympus EUS scope cannot, therefore, be used together with ultrasound systems from other suppliers, in the same way that eus scopes from other manufacturers cannot be used on Olympus ́s ultrasound systems. The portable ultrasound apparatus from Olympus enables the existing Olympus endoscopy system and EUS scope in several examination rooms. This gives increased flexibility in daily operations by allowing the same system to be moved between rooms as needed, at the same time that the apparatus can also be used for transabdominale examinations of, among other things, the liver and intestines. Based on this, the contracting authority considers that only Olympus can deliver a system that fulfils the technical requirements for compatibility with existing EUS equipment, at the same time as the procurement covers the need for both EUS and transabdominal ultrasound in one portable system. The estimated value of the procurement is NOK 100,000,000 excluding VAT. NOK 2,100,000 excluding VAT. Justification procurement without competition: This intention notice is anchored in the procurement regulations § 13-4 letter b no. 2 on situations where competition is impossible for technical reasons.
