Description
This notice is made by the Lanarkshire Health Board (hereinafter referred to as “the Board”). This is a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice and is intended to provide notice of the Authority's intention to award a contract for planned and preventative maintenance of existing Wandsworth nurse call systems at 3 hospitals within the Board's geographical area (University Hospital Monklands, Ladyhome Hospital, and Kello Hospital). The aggregate value of the contract is estimated at GBP 102,956 for all 3 sites over a 5-year term. The Board will observe a 10-day standstill from the date of publication of this VEAT, during which the Board will not enter into any contractual arrangement. Additional information: Due to proprietary closed-protocol software, some maintenance tasks can only be provided by the manufacturer.
