Section four. Procedure
four.1) Description
four.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below
- The services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
- absence of competition for technical reasons
Explanation:
The Trust utilises ICU Medical pumps across the organisation. The ICU Medical pumps can only interface with Mednet (the ICU middleware) and cannot interface with any third party software. The Trust utilises iQemo for all of its chemotherapy prescribing. Mednet interfaces with iQemo in order to provide the required functionality around progress and will via this contract development take the programming for the pump directly from the prescription in iQemo; bi-directional interfaces between iQemo and Mednet have been developed for this purpose and the contract will see these interfaces being further refined and developed. These functionalities require access to the ICU Medical pumps and to the patient prescription, demographic and other information in iQemo, and will also impact on the chair scheduling module currently in use within iQemo.
