Description

The Grace Hospital, located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, has an existing Swisslog pneumatic tube system installed at the site and the system requires a hardware and software upgrade, with a one-year software maintenance agreement (the “Product”). Shared Health has identified one vendor (the “Intended Vendor”) to provide the Product.

Shared Health has reason to believe that only the Intended Vendor is able to provide this Product for the following reasons:

The upgraded hardware and software must be compatible with the existing pneumatic tube system (equipment hardware and software).
Software upgrades are required as part of the maintenance agreement, and the Intended Vendor doesn't license any other company as authorized representatives, so the Intended Vendor is the only one that can do those at this time.

The purpose of this Request is to confirm that there is no competition for distribution of this Product.

Please be advised that the purpose of this Request is not to pre-qualify vendors for an upcoming competitive procurement process, if any. Any Response submitted by a vendor as requested in this Request will not be considered as binding on the vendor. All costs and any liabilities incurred by a vendor including (without limitation) those associated with the preparation of the vendor's Response to this Request will be borne entirely by the vendor.

Responses must be submitted electronically via Bonfire at: https://sharedhealthmb.bonfirehub.ca/

Please note that in order to submit a Response via Bonfire, vendors must be subscribed to Bonfire and have authorization from their authorized signer to complete the submission process. Information about Bonfire can be obtained on its website, https://support.gobonfire.com or by email at support@gobonfire.com. In event of any technical issues with Bonfire submission, vendors should contact a Bonfire agent by using the aforementioned email address.

Submissions by other methods will not be accepted.
Responses must be received in their entirety by Bonfire on or before the Submission Deadline. The time of receipt shall be determined by the Bonfire web clock. Vendors are cautioned that the timing of Responses is based on when the Response is received by Bonfire, not when a Response is submitted. A Response will be deemed to have been received by Bonfire after the Submission Deadline if any one or more files forming part of the Response are received by Bonfire after the Submission Deadline. As transmission can be delayed due to file transfer size, transmission speed, or other technical factors, vendors should plan to submit Responses well in advance of the Submission Deadline to avoid submitting late due to technical issues. Vendors submitting near the Submission Deadline do so at their own risk. Responses received after the Submission Deadline will be rejected.
