Notice Information

Notice Title

Diagnostic Imaging Managed Equipment Service (MES) RFI

Notice Description

The James Paget University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (JPUH) is investigating the feasibility and costs of managing key Diagnostic Imaging (Radiology) department equipment as a Managed Equipment Service (MES), in comparison to a conventional capital and revenue based model. The Trust anticipates that moving to an MES will bring with it a number of benefits: * Outsourcing of non-core Trust activities (typically support & maintenance). * Transfer of equipment risk to a third-party organisation better able to manage it. * Allows the Trust to concentrate on providing a high standard of clinical services to patients. * Access to high standards of equipment, reducing clinical risk and increasing productivity. It is assumed the MES supplier will finance the cost of the MES and be able to provide a high standard of service at a cost effective price. The Trust will pay a single monthly unitary charge for the service. The MES contract is assumed to start in 2019. Requirements: An outline set of requirements for the MES are detailed in the attached Requirements Specification document and should be read in conjunction with the Request for Information (RFI) document and the JPUH MES Equipment List to build a good understanding of the needs of the Trust. 3. Request for Information In order to inform and enhance the development of the Managed Equipment Service requirement, and to obtain information for the business case, JPUH is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to the market. The RFI is an opportunity for prospective suppliers to provide information, feedback and observations which will ensure the Trusts' requirements are 'market ready' prior to undertaking any formal procurement exercise.
