Heart-lung machines and heater coolers
The University Medical Center Utrecht (UMC Utrecht) intends to purchase at least four, possibly six, new heart-lung machines and heater coolers. The purchase also includes maintenance for an intended service life of at least 12 years. The option for two additional units is prompted by the closure of the pediatric heart center in the WKZ, for which legal proceedings are ongoing. The procedure is public, but no CPV code has been specified. The contracting authority expects a complete delivery and maintenance solution, including technical support, training, and warranty, meeting the highest medical standards and being compatible with existing infrastructure. The tender focuses on suppliers with experience in medical equipment for intensive care and heart and lung functions.
