The GOCC Foundation has successfully completed another significant purchase in support of pulmonology, the main focus of the 32nd Grand Finale. Between 30 September and 2 October, the Foundation held the 72nd Ope Tender, leading to the acquisition of vital medical equipment for hospitals across the country.
The Open Tender is a rigorous process aimed at selecting the highest quality equipment—devices that not only perform reliably in real-world hospital conditions but also deliver precise medical data, ensuring the best possible care for patients.
Each piece of equipment undergoes a thorough three-stage evaluation. In the first stage, the committee receives an initial presentation of the offer. The second stage focuses on a detailed analysis of the contract specifics, and in the final stage, negotiations are conducted with each supplier to determine the unit price of the equipment.
Following more than 20 hours of negotiations, we were able to purchase 250 pieces of equipment for a total of PLN 15,214,898. The purchases included:
Throughout the process, we were assisted by a panel of medical experts, ensuring the selected equipment meets the highest professional standards. This expert committee included:
Looking ahead, in December, we will organise another Open Tender dedicated to pulmonology. During this next round, we will select equipment for LCI lung clearance index testing in infants and modular kits for respiratory function tests, which were not procured in the current procedure.
32nd GOCC Finale for Pulmonology
As part of the 32nd GOCC Finale, themed "Post-pandemic lungs," we raised an incredible PLN 281,879,118.07. This year's focus on pulmonology led to two prior Open Tenders: in June, when we purchased 324 devices for PLN 64,920,319.03, and in July, when we acquired videobronchoscopy and endobronchosonography sets—35 units in total—at a cost of PLN 17,109,282.04.
