Description
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board (hereafter referred to as ‘The Board’) require suitably qualified and experienced Contractor to provide AGV Maintenance services located at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital through a contract. Due to the closed loop Otsaw Swisslog Healthcare Robotics GmbH AGV system in place at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Aerocom (UK) Ltd are the only company that can maintain the AGV system located at our Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. Therefore the best course of action to insure compliance with procurement regulations, and ensure the continued maintenance of these systems, is to publish a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice.
