Tender for portable ultrasound system for Hospital Universitario Miguel Servet (Zaragoza, Spain)
The input text is a procurement notice and summary of tender conditions for a public contract in Spain, issued by the Gerencia Sector Sanitario de Zaragoza 2. It concerns the purchase and installation of medical equipment (a portable ultrasound/“ecógrafo portable”) for the Urology operating theatre of the Hospital Universitario Miguel Servet in Zaragoza, under Spanish public procurement rules.
The viewpoint throughout is that of a Spanish regional health authority (Aragón), with references to national electronic procurement platforms and Spanish oversight bodies.
The documents specify what bidders must submit in three separate electronic envelopes via the PLACSP/PLACE platform.
Envelope A contains administrative documentation (such as capacity to act, via the standard DRU form, duly electronically signed by the economic operator or its representative).
Envelope B contains the technical offer, evaluated on qualitative criteria (for example, connectivity with PACS and IT patient management systems, fusion of images, modes of operation and synchronization with a robot, image quality and processing, and characteristics and connectivity of probes/“sondas”).
Envelope C contains the economic offer, including price and maintenance contract price, using the provided Excel template (Oferta_CS-Z210-1126003412-26-PA.xls).
As indicated, bidders must mark in the DRU Part IV that they comply with all selection criteria; beyond that, no detailed turnover, insurance or reference thresholds are spelled out in the text provided.
Regarding scope, the contract object is clearly defined as the “Suministro e instalación de un ecógrafo portable para el quirófano de Urología del Hospital Universitario Miguel Servet de Zaragoza.” The estimated value is 165,289.26 EUR (net of taxes), with a tender budget of 200,000 EUR including taxes.
The contract type is “Suministros – Adquisición,” not mixed, with a single execution period of 1 month, noted in the observations as 6 weeks.
The place of performance is Zaragoza (territorial code ES243), specifically the aforementioned hospital; there are no options or extensions (maximum number of prorrogations: 0).

It notes that any bid exceeding the maximum tender budget will be excluded, which is a clear financial risk for bidders.
The presentation of offers is strictly electronic through PLACE/PLACSP and requires prior electronic signature of all documents, adding a formal compliance risk.
