Underbench Water Units Supply and Maintenance Agreement for Bay of Plenty Hospitals

What we need Bay of Plenty District Health Board (BOPDHB) has about 100 underbench water units in various locations, predominantly Tauranga and Whakatane Hospitals. BOPDHB wants to set up an agreement with a supplier(s) to provide new underbench water units, spare parts and repair services.

What we don�t want We do not want a supplier(s) without considerable NZ experience and who is not able to provide all the required services. What�s important to us Customer service, availability of parts, fast repair times are all important but most important is presentable and reliable underbench water units. Why should you bid?

The opportunity is reasonably significant just in volume of units and ongoing spare part supplies. Importantly the underbench units are in place to support the well-being of patients, staff and visitors to BOPDHB. Your product will be visible and used by thousands of people each year.

A bit about us Bay of Plenty District Health Board (BOPDHB) is committed to operational practice that is sustainable and does not put undue pressure on the environment. This includes carbon footprint reduction principles such as adopting practices and procuring plant that minimise energy use, waste production, and water use as much as is practicable.
