THROMBOELASTOMETERS

This tender concerns the procurement of thromboelastometers, categorized under G21 - Medical and Pharmaceutical Supplies and Equipment; Clinical or Diagnostic Analyzers, Accessories, and Materials. The procurement method specified is a negotiated contract, justified by Article 13, Paragraph 4°, which allows for direct contracting when a public tender is deemed not to serve the public interest. The contracting authority for this procurement is SANTÉ QUÉBEC, specifically the Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM). Thromboelastometers are specialized medical devices used in clinical laboratories to assess the viscoelastic properties of blood, providing crucial information about coagulation kinetics and clot stability. This information is vital for managing patients with bleeding disorders, thrombosis, or those undergoing complex surgical procedures. The CHUM, as a major university hospital center, requires advanced diagnostic equipment to ensure optimal patient care and support its research and teaching activities. The selection of a negotiated contract suggests that there may be specific reasons, such as unique technical requirements, limited market availability, or urgent clinical needs, that make a competitive bidding process impractical or less advantageous for the public interest in this instance. The procurement will focus on acquiring these essential diagnostic instruments to enhance the hospital's hematology and transfusion services.

This is a supplies contract in the health and medical services and general supplies sectors, with a focus on Medical Equipment and Laboratory. Located in Canada, North America, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.
