A More Detailed Description Of The Procurement Object With Statistics Will Be Provided To The Candidates Invited To The Negotiations In Connection With The Invitation To The Negotiations.

The Goal Of The Competitive Negotiation Procedure Is To Determine The Object Of The Procurement And The Method Of Implementation Of The Procurement (E.G. Finding The Best/Most Efficient Processes And Technical Features And Solutions, The Possibilities Of Connecting/Combining Equipment, Total Procurement From One Supplier Or Procurement By Sub-Area, Delivery Schedule, Etc.) For The Final Tender Request. In The Invitation To Participate, There Is A Preliminary Option To Divide The Procurement Into Sub-Areas, But In The Final Call For Tenders, Bids Can Be Requested For The Overall Procurement Without Division Into Sub-Areas, If The Procuring Entity Considers This To Be The Best Way To Carry Out The Procurement. The Matter Will Be Clarified In The Negotiations. The Use Of The Competitive Negotiation Procedure Is Justified Because: • The Needs Of The Procurement Unit Cannot Be Met Without Adapting The Existing Solutions; • Procurement Includes Planning Or Innovative Solutions; And Because • The Description Of The Object Of Procurement Cannot Be Prepared With Sufficient Precision By Referring To A Standard, A European Technical Assessment, A Common Technical Specification Or A Technical Reference. The Purpose Of The Negotiations Is To Map And Define The Means By Which The Procurement Units Needs Can Best Be Met. The Selection Of Candidates Is Described In More Detail In Appendix 1. Before The Negotiations Begin, The Aim Is To Deliver A Preliminary Contract Draft To The Candidates. The Contract Structure Will Be Specified In The Final Request For Tenders. For Smaller Separate (Hematology And Coagulation Analysis) Analyzers, The Option Of Rental + Maintenance And Reagent Purchase Contracts Is Left. The Contract Is Concluded Between The Procurement Unit And The Supplier. The Procurement Contract Will Include, For Example, Conditions Related To Remote Management, Information Security And Data Protection. The Request For Participation Is Accompanied By A Data Protection Appendix (Appendix 4), Which Is Also Included In The Final Request For Tenders And The Procurement Contract. At This Stage, The Supplier Candidate Should Familiarize Himself With The Contents Of The Appendices. References To The Appendices In The Procurement Contract, One Of Which Is The Unconditional Requirements Of The Tender Request. Unconditional Requirements Include Requirements And Conditions Related To Service Levels, E.G. Contractual Sanctions, If The Service Levels Are Not Reached During The Contract Period Or The Selected Supplier Is Otherwise Unable To Deliver The Service Or Otherwise Operate As Required By The Contract. A Draft Contract Is Attached To The Final Tender Request, The Terms Of Which The Tenderer Must Accept In His Offer As Is. The Selected Supplier Can Propose Minor Changes To The Contract During The Contract Negotiations, But The Procurement Unit Is Not Obliged To Accept Them. The Selected Supplier Must Sign The Contract As It Is, If The Procurement Entity So Requires.
