Direct award preannouncement: PET123S/CT and PET122S/MRI 3T Scanners

Description du marché

Turku PET Centre (TPC) is a Finnish National Research Institute for the use of short-lived positron emitting isotopes in the field of medical research. The core functions of Turku PET Centre are based on the agreement between the University of Turku, Åbo Akademi University, and the Turku University Hospital. To continue preclinical in vivo imaging of large rats, injected with >40 MBq of radioactivity, at high resolution and to fulfill the criteria for upcoming projects, Turku PET Centre must 1) replace the expired Inveon Multimodality PET/CT scanner (Siemens), and 2) buy a new PET/MRI 3T scanner (nanoScan PET122S / MRI 3T Full-scale, quantitative PET combined with a robust, cryogen-free MRI and nanoScan PET123S / CT1512 Real dynamic PET-system designed for quantitative studies). The preclinical Imaging unit at TPC is currently limited by space, with no possibility to expand. Hence, a small footprint is required. Therefore, Turku PET Centre has decided to acquire the PET123S/CT and PET122S/MRI 3T nanoScans from Santax Medico Oy, (manufacturer Mediso Medical Imaging Systems Ltd) A contracting entity may opt for direct procurement if only a certain supplier can implement the procurement for a technical reason; it shall be a further condition that there are no reasonable alternatives or substitute solutions, and that the absence of competition is not due to an artificial narrowing of the terms and conditions of the procurement.
