Acquisition of licenses - Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) software

This tender concerns the acquisition of licenses for Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) software. The procurement falls under categories G21 (Medical Supplies and Pharmaceuticals; Information Technology, Broadcasting and Telecommunications). The contracting authority, McGill University Health Centre, has opted for a direct contract award (contrat de gré à gré) based on Article 13, Paragraph 2° of the procurement regulations. This rationale indicates that a sole contractor is possible due to exclusive rights, such as a warranty or proprietary ownership, suggesting a specific software solution is required that only one vendor can provide. The tender is specifically for the acquisition of software licenses, implying a need for a system to manage maintenance operations efficiently within the healthcare institution. The use of a direct contract award highlights a unique situation where competitive bidding is not feasible or appropriate, likely due to the specialized nature of the required software or existing infrastructure compatibility.

This is a supplies contract in the information and communication technology and health and medical services sectors, with a focus on Enterprise Systems and Health Financing. Located in Canada, North America, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.
