The Universitair Medisch Centrum Groningen (UMCG) plans to purchase a unique Active Sentry module, including handpieces, for the Alcon Centurion phaco devices. This module places a pressure sensor directly in the handpiece, allowing intraocular pressure variations to be detected faster and more accurately. This enables intraocular pressure to be reduced by nearly 50% (22 mmHg versus 40 mmHg) during surgery, reducing the risk of damage to the optic nerve. The module is the only one compatible with the current equipment at the UMCG, making a change of supplier technically or economically unfeasible. The procurement is being carried out via an exception to the obligation to tender (Article 2.163d AW), whereby the existing agreement is being expanded by 50% for additional supplies. The announcement is intended to inform market stakeholders in advance and allow for objections to be submitted within 20 days. After the objection period, the UMCG may proceed with the procedure.

01What is being requested

The Universitair Medisch Centrum Groningen (UMCG) plans to purchase a unique Active Sentry module, including handpieces, for the Alcon Centurion phaco devices. This module places a pressure sensor directly in the handpiece, allowing intraocular pressure variations to be detected faster and more accurately. This enables intraocular pressure to be reduced by nearly 50% (22 mmHg versus 40 mmHg) during surgery, reducing the risk of damage to the optic nerve. The module is the only one compatible with the current equipment at the UMCG, making a change of supplier technically or economically unfeasible. The procurement is being carried out via an exception to the obligation to tender (Article 2.163d AW), whereby the existing agreement is being expanded by 50% for additional supplies. The announcement is intended to inform market stakeholders in advance and allow for objections to be submitted within 20 days. After the objection period, the UMCG may proceed with the procedure.

This concerns the publication in the case of voluntary prior transparency of the intention to award the contract for the supply of the active sentry module including handpieces. The purchase will be awarded via a single-source negotiated procedure based on an exception to the obligation to tender, because the UMCG can invoke Article 2.163d AW. Pursuant to this article, the UMCG may expand the existing agreement by 50% for additional supplies if these have become necessary and there is an impossibility (technical or economic) to change the contractor.

06Frequently asked questions

Why is this contract being awarded via a single-source negotiated procedure?

The UMCG invokes Article 2.163d AW to expand the existing agreement by 50%. This is necessary because the active sentry module is the only module compatible with the Alcon Centurion phaco devices currently in use, making a change of supplier technically or economically unfeasible.

What are the technical advantages of the active sentry module?

The module places a pressure sensor directly in the handpiece instead of in the phaco device. This allows intraocular pressure changes to be detected faster than via a 1.2m long tube. This enables an almost 50% lower intraocular pressure (22 mmHg versus 40 mmHg), which reduces damage to the optic nerve.

How can stakeholders object to this intention?

Stakeholders can submit a reasoned objection within a period of 20 calendar days after publication of the announcement via the email address stated in the contact details. The UMCG will take any objection into account during its assessment.
