Tender for Infusion Pumps
A tender for replacement peristaltic infusion pumps is being evaluated. About 200 I.V. pumps for two hospitals will be purchased in the first instance. This tender will establish a standing order for future potential replacement of the remaining SAHS I.V. pump fleet, allowing the total replacement of approximately 460 channels. Additional channels may be required to satisfy increased activity levels during the contract term.
