Interoperability Assurance: The Trust will maintain full interoperability across all X-Ray modality equipment. Awarding to Philips Electronics UK avoids the need for an additional licence (estimated at £10,000) that would otherwise be required to integrate with existing systems such as CVIS.
Clear Accountability: Retaining a single supplier for infrastructure ensures clear accountability and liability for service maintenance and equipment issues, reducing the risk of downtime caused by disputes between multiple suppliers.
Strategic Replacement Programme: Working in partnership with one supplier enables the Trust to implement a planned replacement programme, minimising clinical disruption and safeguarding patient services.
Staff Familiarity and Training Efficiency: Staff are already trained and experienced with Philips equipment, eliminating the need for extensive retraining and avoiding delays before services can commence.
Coordinated Maintenance: Equipment maintenance will be managed under a single contract, allowing planned downtime to be scheduled and coordinated effectively, reducing the impact on clinical services.
- Risks
This is a capital requirement, and the order must be placed promptly to allow sufficient time for works to be completed and equipment installed before the end of the financial year. Any delay in placing the order could result in missed year-end deadlines, impacting project delivery and financial compliance.
