Overview

Waitematā District Health Board (WDHB) is looking to implement a planned maintenance and corrective repair service covering Ward Beds and patient handling equipment.

Equipment uptime is critical to our operation. WDHB Clinical Engineers makes sure that medical devices are readily available for the clinical staff to use. Our capacity to keep these devices operational is in shortage hence we are in search for a provider who has experience in providing clinical engineering services.

We do not want consultants and agents who will only advise us on what needs to be done or sub contracts the work to another provider.

WDHB is looking for credible providers who have the capability, experience and infrastructure to deliver preventive & corrective maintenance for Ward Beds & patient handling equipment. They need to have a good track record in the management and implementation of maintenance programmes and effective networks and strong relationships within parts suppliers. We are looking for the best value-for-money provider over the whole life of the contract.

This is an opportunity to support in the improvement of the delivery of health care to the Waitematā District population. Keeping vital equipment running directly helps patients who are in dire need of assistance.

RFx Outcome

This tender has been awarded.

  • U.S.L. MEDICAL LIMITED - 494, Rosebank Road, Avondale, Auckland, 1025, NEW ZEALAND

Further Award Information:
The evaluation panel is recommending Universal Specialities Ltd (trading as USL Medical) for the supply of Maintenance & Repair Services to cover the following equipment:
• Ward Beds
• Patient Handling Equipment – Patient Hoists
• Patient Handling Equipment – Stretchers & Patient Transfer

The recommendation is based on overall scoring to which USL Medical scored 66.78%. This strength on score is based on a highly favourable submitted proposal & overall pricing. The only drawback is that USL Medical will not be able to provide maintenance & repair service for Wheelchairs.

Arjo Huntleigh scored strongly on pricing for preventive maintenance. Arjo Huntleigh’s expected annual preventive maintenance cost is $87,609.00 per annum which is $4,731 per annum lower than USL Medical. Arjo Huntleigh also score high on their proposal but majority of Waitematā DHB products supplied by USL Medical, they will have a difficult time securing updated training and parts for HillRom equipment. Arjo Huntleigh also will not be able to provide maintenance & repair service for Wheelchairs.

There is no recommendation under this procurement process for the supply of Maintenance & Repair Services to cover Wheelchairs. It has been agreed that this can be taken up separately after the contract for the Ward Beds, Patient Hoists and Stretchers has been signed. Alternative to Wheelchair service is for maintenance to be done by WDHB Clinical Engineering if qualified staff are available to perform such service.
