Purchase of three Type C van ambulances for the Provincial Ambulance Station in Bydgoszcz

The subject of the order is the purchase of three Type C van ambulances for the Provincial Ambulance Station in Bydgoszcz. The Ordering Party requires the offer of brand new, unused, road ambulances of Type C with a medical compartment, meeting the requirements of the harmonized standard PN-EN 1789 or equivalent. Offered ambulances must have brand new equipment, free from defects, covered by the vehicle manufacturer's warranty, meeting the requirements of the Act of June 20, 1997, Road Traffic Law (Journal of Laws 2024, item 1251), the Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of December 31, 2002, on the technical conditions of vehicles and the scope of their necessary equipment (Journal of Laws 2024, item 502), applicable standards PN-EN 1789 for Type C road transport vehicles and PN-EN 1865 (requirements for stretchers and other medical equipment for patient transport used in road ambulances) or equivalent. Minimum requirements for the base vehicle, medical compartment, and medical equipment are included in Annex No. 2 to SWZ, which constitutes a description of the required technical and operational parameters of the subject of the order. Offered equipment and medical devices must have documents permitting their circulation and use in Poland and meet the requirements specified by the Act of April 7, 2022, on Medical Devices (Journal of Laws 2024, item 1620). Delivered ambulances and medical equipment should be new and unused, without defects, design flaws, manufacturing errors, or other technical defects that could manifest during their use. The contractor will provide full warranty and post-warranty service for the offered ambulances' medical compartment and medical equipment, as well as full service for the base vehicle at an Authorized Service Center. The following minimum warranty periods are required, counted from the date of signing the handover-acceptance protocol by the parties: 1) mechanical for the base vehicle – min. 24 months with unlimited mileage, 2) paint coatings – min. 24 months, 3) corrosion perforation of body elements – min. 140 months, 4) for medical equipment – min. 24 months, 5) for the medical compartment – min. 24 months, free warranty inspections every 12 months – 2 inspections within 2 years, including all costs of transporting the ambulance to the designated warranty service. The Ordering Party has waived the division of the order into parts, as the purchase of 3 ambulances from a single contractor usually allows for a lower purchase price, more favorable warranty conditions, service, or additional equipment. Conducting one procedure instead of three saves employee time and administrative costs. Purchasing identical vehicles guarantees that all three vehicles will have the same spare parts, components, and equipment (this applies to both the base chassis and the medical compartment). This facilitates servicing and fleet management. In the case of specialized vehicles (ambulances in this case), it is necessary for all units to meet identical, strict technical requirements, which is easiest to ensure by ordering them from a single manufacturer. One contractor is responsible for the delivery of all 3 ambulances, which reduces the risk of logistical and coordination problems. This allows for the simultaneous introduction of vehicles into service. Division into parts could discourage large contractors who prefer to execute larger orders, which could result in a lack of bids for individual parts or a significantly higher unit price for the ambulance. Taking into account the statutory criteria for spending public funds in a purposeful, economical, and efficient manner, this way of creating the order most fully meets the needs of the Ordering Party and fulfills the objectives of the act for spending public funds while maintaining the legality of these actions.
