Bone density measurement device package

Varsinais-Suomen Wellbeing Services County's Tyks Imaging Service Area needs to procure a bone density measurement device package. The device package will be used for bone density and whole-body composition measurements of adult and pediatric patients, as well as for clinical and scientific research. The device to be procured must be technically compatible with the Hologic bone density measurement devices currently in use, so that research methods can be performed consistently and long-term follow-up analysis results are comparable to the results produced by the currently used devices. Only the same device series guarantees corresponding technical and functional characteristics, thus meeting the requirements for the level of results. The basis for direct procurement is section 40, paragraph 2, point 2 of the Procurement Act, according to which only a specific supplier can carry out the procurement for technical reasons. An additional requirement is that there are no reasonable alternative or substitute solutions and that the lack of competition is not due to the artificial narrowing of the procurement conditions. Based on the market survey conducted by the contracting entity, Tromp Medical Oy's bone density measurement device is the only one that meets the contracting entity's absolute requirements. For the aforementioned reasons, the Hologic bone density measurement device, its maintenance, and software updates will be procured from Tromp Medical Oy.
