Quality, not quantity – this is one of our Open Tender’s main objectives. Under the committee of experts, i.e. practising doctors from the country, and in a process of a structured procedure, we purchase the medical equipment for Polish hospitals. Open Tenders allow us to find not only high-quality, but also best suited devices according to the Polish hospitals’ requirements.
Open Tender is organised in line with clear and publicly available rules and regulations. There are three “entries” marking three stages of the procedure:
- First entry focuses on the quality assessment. Experts review all the offers we received from the Bidders and consider all the pros and cons of each device.
- Second entry is the time for all the companies to discuss their offers in detail. Bidders get the Chance to present their equipment and share more specifics regarding their parameters and functionalities.
- Final entry includes individual meetings between the committee and the Bidders, during which the final conditions, including price details, are being discussed.
Hours long negotiations are now a permanent element of the Open Tender. Experts ask numerous questions about the offered equipment and test it, whenever possible. During the 63rd Open Tender 14 experts offered their help to support the Foundation:
- dr hab. n. med. Wojciech Hautz (Warszawa)
- dr hab. n. med. Mirosława Grałek (Łódź)
- dr hab. n. med. Alina Bakunowicz-Łazarczyk (Białystok)
- dr Krzysztof Cieślik (Warszawa)
- dr n. med. Sławomir Cisiecki (Łódź)
