Medical equipment tender procurement should pay attention to the problem: I hope to help you

Tender documents on the qualification requirements that suppliers should have too high or unreasonable

Tender documents require suppliers to provide in the pre-qualification of the product manufacturer's authorization for the product or the product sales head office authorization

;In order to prevent copies of the fake, many tenders are required to provide the original of the important qualifications, requiring bidders to provide bidding information to have the original manufacturer's authorization certificate for a particular product, etc.. This need to qualify the original requirements, but also to varying degrees to the manufacturers to provide control of goods to manipulate the market price of the opportunity, but also to a very small number of qualified suppliers profiteering provides a good prerequisite, thereby damaging the interests of the purchaser.

In fact, in general, manufacturers in a region of the seller distribution authorization mainly depends on the scale of sales, sales of small-scale areas of a no, some manufacturers only to a good relationship with the dealer authorization, and other suppliers due to the inability to obtain authorization (although they can get in line with the requirements of the bidding documents of the product) can not participate in the project, the results of the eligible The result is that the eligible ones are unwilling to participate in the project, and those who want to do the procurement project can not enter the project, which ultimately leads to less than three effective bidders, abortive bidding or string of accompanying bids to make the price inflated. In fact, such a requirement is a bit out of practice, which requires the qualification review both discipline and supervision, so as not to go through the motions

; more flexibility and adaptive practices.

Procurement content of the purchased equipment quality, origin, model and configuration requirements are not reasonable

Now the tender technical specifications are not written in a unified specification, often find a company's product promotional materials, copied wholesale

; or on the designation of a particular brand model or for a brand model to develop the technical parameters. technical parameters. Do not distinguish between primary and secondary, can write all write on, listing dozens or even hundreds of articles. To accurately and accurately express the technical requirements of the tender, and sometimes have to be word for word. For example, the size of the surgical bed, can be written in millimeters, a look is copied. Like this there is room for loosening the "amount of"

, the flexible way to deal with the size of the note next to the "reference size". Where dispensable, delete as well; where "high quality", "durable", "low noise", "convenient and flexible "a class of vague qualifying modifiers, as far as possible instead of operable, determinable expression. Some bids also on the product of the electrical safety standards requirements, in fact, this is redundant requirements, the reason is that the national electrical safety standards are mandatory, otherwise it is not to get the "medical device registration certificate".

Some of the tender documents in the abolition of the bidding provisions of too much abuse, bidding if there are omissions that is the abolition of the bidding, so that after the evaluation of the bidding documents in line with the requirements of the supplier less competitors. For these cases, to strengthen the bidding documents for the record review of the main technical parameters in the bidding documents is not universal, if necessary, can organize relevant personnel to conduct market surveys, discriminatory provisions of the bidding documents, unfair, unreasonable requirements, should urge the purchasing unit, the government procurement department or procurement agency to make modifications, or to invite a number of industry experts to review the bidding documents first! In order to make the bidding documents meet the requirements of fairness and reasonableness without any discriminatory clauses, the bidding documents should be reviewed by several industry experts. At the same time, the abolition of the bidding provisions should also be established in accordance with the law, shall not be arbitrarily added.

Cautious use of "original", abandon the word "origin"

"Original" means The term "original" means "direct from the factory". In fact, with the rapid development of global economic integration, the increase in the number of multinational corporations (factories), the global procurement of components, OEM

way, etc., so that thousands of components, assemblies and parts of a device from all over the world, the world has become a big factory, can not talk about the "original".

With the global economic integration in the popularization of people's concepts to be careful with the "original". Medical Device Registration Certificate" annex page with "producer's address" and "production site address" two columns, the two addresses are not the same, usually not in one place, and may even be located in two countries. General purchasing units are concerned about the "address of the production site", while the bidding unit will be selected from the two developed countries

/ city as the origin to fill in. In order to avoid differences, it is recommended to abandon the term "origin", the use of "medical device registration certificate" on the "production site address", so that the jury evaluation and equipment acceptance, there is a clear basis.

The budget price is set too low

Some purchasers or management always put the project budget price to the lowest point, and even the necessary costs (such as taxes, travel costs, etc.) have not been taken into account, so that the foreign suppliers are deterred, do not dare to compete with local suppliers. The cost of bidding and the cost of performance after winning the bid is relatively high compared to local suppliers due to the long distances traveled by foreign suppliers, and their bidding price may exceed the budgeted price, which will lead to the abolition of the bid in accordance with the Government Procurement Law. Or because the budget price is set too low, foreign suppliers will not feel cost-effective and do not participate in the bidding, and the local eligible suppliers are few, so that the bidding documents on the substantive response to less than three bidders rejected or lack of competitors so that the purchasing unit to the detriment of.

Payment is too harsh

Some tens of thousands of dollars or even a few thousand dollars of procurement projects, the supplier as expected performance and acceptance, according to the tender documents in the payment method for one year after the full payment, the winning supplier can not recover or in a long time to recover the full contract price, this situation will greatly frustrate This situation will greatly discourage suppliers, especially those from outside Hong Kong, from participating in the bidding competition. The implementation of different levels of payment for equipment according to the implementation of the payment method.

The evaluation of some human factors

Some of the medical equipment procurement projects, the expert jury is questionable whether the level of "professional". Each bid evaluation experts are familiar with their own products and unfamiliar products, so in the bid evaluation should be grouped according to the category of equipment bid evaluation. In the bid evaluation process, each judge is not really understand or know the legal responsibilities and obligations, is not strictly in accordance with the bid evaluation procedures, in accordance with the project bidding documents in accordance with the project content, bid evaluation principles and evaluation methods for evaluation. Otherwise, it will also make the bidding activities are not as desired.

Information dissemination is not timely enough

Some procurement projects in the required bid opening time is still no one to bid. The information release of the procurement project should not only be released in the bidding portal, but should be released through multiple channels in a timely manner, so that the bidding suppliers can be through different media, websites, in a shorter period of time to understand the procurement information of the project, if necessary, the relevant staff of the government procurement department, but also according to the eligible "supplier pool"

The main accessories and consumables should be in the tender

Attached to the page at the same time the offer

Because of the bidding activities of the increasing transparency, and the competition between the bidders is more and more intense, and sometimes they are on the instrument of the offer is really low, and even the suspicion of loss of money, but they can earn more money later. But they will do it in order to earn high profits later on the supplies and the control of accessories, so the hospital in order to instrument the supply of late supplies and major accessories and price mastery, to prevent the supplier from asking for a price, should require the instrument bidders in their bids to clearly provide supplies and major accessories (such as ultrasound probe, biochemistry bulbs and reagents, etc.) price, and write it into the contract, and this also For the future maintenance of the instrument to provide a strong basis.
