HSE 20318 Provision of Radiology Services for University Hospital Kerry

Description

The HSE hereby invites suitably qualified and experienced Service Providers to submit tenders for the Provision of Radiology Services in University Hospital Kerry. This tender process is being conducted under Annex XIV of Procurement directives 2014/24/EU. The required services are listed as Annex XIV services, and accordingly, only Articles 74 to 77 of Directive 2014/24/EC applies to the award of any contract(s) that arise from this process. As such, there is considerable flexibility afforded to the Contracting Authority in conducting the tender process. The HSE therefore reserves the right, after the award of contract, to negotiate with the successful tenderer the level of services to be provided to match the available budget. The Health Service Executive wishes to appoint service provider(s) for Radiology Services in University Hospital Kerry. The HSE requirement is divided into three lots. Tenderers will be invited to submit for one, some or all three lots.  Lot 1 CT/US Remote Radiology Reporting Service inclusive of CT On Call  Lot 2 Remote Plain Film Radiology Reporting Service - ED/ Inpatients: Priority work load 12hr and 24hr TAT respectively. 32,000 examinations  Lot 3 Remote Plain Film Radiology Reporting Service OPD/GP: 72 hr TAT. 15,000 examinations. The HSE intends to appoint one service provider for each of the Lots. Please note that due to UHK requirements tenderers cannot be successful for both Lot 2 and Lot 3. Tenderers may apply for Lot 2 Remote Plain Film Radiology Reporting Service - ED/ Inpatients and Lot 3 Remote Plain Film Radiology Reporting Service OPD/GP but in order to ensure that UH Kerry is not dependent on a single provider for both Lots, providers can only win one Lot. Therefore Tenderers must state their order of Lot preference should they be successful. The scoring will determine the ranking in each Lot. Should a provider win their first preference Lot and be ranked first in any of their next preferred Lots, the Tenderer who ranks second/third in that Lot as their first preference Lot and who has not been awarded any other Lot will be identified as the preferred Tenderer. Tenderers who score identical marks in a Lot as their first preference Lot and are ranked joint number one, the Tenderer who scored highest for the Award Criterion ‘Quality, Relevant Experience and Availability of Resources of Proposed Team’ will be awarded the Lot. Each Lot will be conducted as a separate, standalone and discrete tender evaluation, with no provision for discounted pricing for multiple Lots. However, the HSE reserves the right to award more than one Lot to any provider who has tendered for multiple Lots if there is no other identified preferred Tenderer in any Lot and that Tenderer can guarantee they have the capacity to service multiple Lots. Note: Service Providers are requested to only submit a tender if they are confident that they have the requisite capacity, suitably qualified staff, experience and expertise within their organisation to deliver on the service as outlined in the project documentation commencing as soon as practicable after award of contract. Tenderers may apply for both Lots but the Lots are independent and will be evaluated separately.
