Delivery: London · London
Extensions: The duration of the services is anticipated to be for five (5) years with the option to extend for up to three (3) years (2+1). Whilst ImageWise is conscious that the maximum term of a framework agreement awarded under the PCR is usually four years, exceptional circumstances apply in respect of the PACS service which justify the award of an eight-year framework. Substantial investments are required for acquiring the service and the extensive time will be required for the supplier to mobilise and implement a PACS service effectively. This extended timeframe ensures adequate return on investment and supports the stable, long-term operation necessary for successful deployment.Variant bids: not allowed

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 25 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “The Provision of a Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS) and a…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
