Ireland – Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products – The Supply of Patient Cooling Machines for ICU

Beaumont Hospital intends to purchase nine Patient Cooling Machines from Infusion Healthcare. For clinical reasons, and in order to ensure optimum treatment outcomes on behalf of its patient cohort, Beaumont Hospital requires Patient Cooling Machines for use in the ICU that are capable of both surface cooling and intravascular cooling modes (ICU have found the Intravascular option very effective). Beaumont Hospital is satisfied that only the Zoll Thermoguard device, supplied by Infusion Healthcare, is capable of fulfilling these requirements. Consequently, in accordance with Article 32(2)(b)(ii) of Directive 2014/24/EU, competition is absent for technical reasons and the award of this contract to Infusion Healthcare without a competitive process is permitted by the procurement regulations. Beaumont Hospital undertake that no contract shall be awarded to Infusion Healthcare for the supply of these items until a period of fourteen days has elapsed, commencing on the day after the date of publication of this notice at European level.
