purchase of high-end ultrasound equipment for the O&G UMCG department Text automatically translated in your browsing language Automatically translated

Purchase of 4 Voluson Expert 22 GE high-end echo equipment over the period 2024-2028. Prenatal Diagnostics (PND) and Obstetrics within the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology use General Electric (GE) brand ultrasound equipment for prenatal testing in pregnant women. This involves complex ultrasound in which abnormalities of the unborn child(ren) are examined during pregnancy. This is tertiary care for which the UMCG is licensed under the Special Medical Operations Act (WBMV) for the Northeast Netherlands region. In 2019, the UMCG also purchased these devices over a period of 4 years through a procedure of voluntary transparency. GE is the only supplier providing high-end equipment specifically developed for women’s health and required for the work within the PND department. In recent years, there has been a growth in advanced ultrasound research (GUO I and GUO II) with increasing complexity in the UMCG. The contract can only be awarded directly on the basis of an exception to the tendering obligation and the UMCG relies on Article 2.32(1)(b2) of the AW for this. Competition is lacking for technical reasons, as no reasonable alternative or substitute is available for GE Healthcare's high-end ultrasound equipment. This notice shall be used only to make the intended choice of procedure known in advance to the market in order to give interested parties the opportunity to raise any objections. If, despite the above reasons, interested parties wish to object to the above-mentioned intention, they must submit a reasoned objection to the continuation of this proceeding within 20 calendar days of the publication of this notice. For this you can use the e-mail address as stated in the contact details. The UMCG will take any objection into account in its assessment. If no objection has been raised during this period, the rights of undertakings to challenge the proposed procedure will lapse.
