Description

Service and Management Contract for the Maintenance and Repair of Medical and Laboratory Equipment at Hannover Medical School
Hannover Medical School (MHH) is one of the most efficient medical universities in Germany. Whether in research, patient care or teaching, the MHH has secured one of the top places in the top group of German university medical institutions with its concept of targeted priority funding. The MHH offers comprehensive, high-quality medical care that is based on national and international standards and ensures a high level of safety and quality of results. In addition to basic and standard care, the range of services includes highly specialized medical services of supraregional importance in many medical specialties. In addition, the MHH is a university with approximately 3,500 students and represents one of Hannover's largest employers with more than 8,400 full-time employees. At present, the Medical School with its 18 medical centers with 75 departments and 12 operating units covers the entire spectrum of medical treatment of a large hospital of supramaximal care. The central hospital comprises 70 wards with about 1,520 beds; about 60,00 patients are treated as inpatients annually. Last year, around 280,000 outpatients were treated in the outpatient clinics and polyclinics.With 400,000 square meters, the MHH campus in the district of Groß-Buchholz on Karl-Wiechert-Allee is larger than 50 soccer fields. At the center of the approximately 45 buildings existing on the campus is the Central Clinic, surrounded by the Children's Clinic, the Women's Clinic, the Transplantation Research Center, the Hans-Borst Center, other research and teaching buildings, the library, the Center for Schools for Non-Medical Professions, and residential and administrative buildings. Except for orthopedics, which is permanently housed in Annastift, almost all medical departments are gathered on the campus. Outpatient care is provided in the Hanover City Area on Podbielski Street. Research areas are also located off-campus in the so-called Medical Park near the MHH at Stadtfelddamm (NIFE) and in Feodor-Lynen-Str., respectively, and are meanwhile expanding the utilization areas of the MHHThe Medical Technology Department of the Hannover Medical School is in charge of almost 68,000 devices of different categories from the medical technology sector as well as laboratory technology from clinical and research areas.The equipment stock shows a considerable spectrum, both technologically and with regard to the age structure. A not insignificant part of the equipment is under maintenance contracts with service providers, who in most cases are also the manufacturers of the equipment. Depending on the need for availability, maintenance contracts exist as pure operational maintenance contracts or variants with inclusion of the costs incurred in the event of a repair failure or variants that either include the spare parts in the event of a repair or only the pure labor costs of a repair. Especially in the area of stationary large-scale imaging (angiography, CT, MRI, X-ray, etc.), the equipment is covered by service concepts with first-line support from the service providers. The objective of the competitive dialog to be conducted is to further develop the existing service description for consolidated outsourcing and to adapt it to the necessities and, above all, to the possibilities that could arise within the framework of a partnership-based contract design. In particular, it is to be evaluated which of the necessary services can be provided more economically by the external partner and which by the company's own resources, also against the background of economic efficiency.In view of the large equipment inventories and the wide range of tasks, which also result from constantly changing legal requirements, the conclusion of a service and management contract is sought. The contractor is to provide technical operational management and maintenance in accordance with DIN 31051 and all other relevant standards and regulations for the medical technology and laboratory technology systems and equipment named in the inventory and all those that will exist in the future, including all related organizational services in all clinical areas at all of the client's sites as a competent and efficient service provider.There is considerable operational demand, for example, in the maintenance, repair and testing business (STK, MTK, DGUV V3) for small medical technology equipment (e.g. infusion technology, ventilation and anesthesia, endosurgery, emergency cardiology equipment, perinatal monitoring, etc.) and for considerable quantities of laboratory technology (centrifuges, shakers, stirrers, cooling technology, etc.).In the further course of the dialogue phase, it is to be evaluated in particular which current or future tasks can be sensibly placed on the client or contractor side, or which performance requirements, if any, can be met in current or future constellations. PLEASE NOTE: Pursuant to Section 119 (6) of the ARC in conjunction with Section 18 of the VgV, THIS PROCEDURE WILL BE CONDUCTED AS A COMPETITIVE DIALOGUE WITH PRIOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION COMPETITION.
