Description

This project is for the Mobile Lithotripsy Service within the Urology Department in the Countess of Chester Hospital.The service is for the provision of a mobile service delivering extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy and extracorporeal shockwave treatment.

Lithotripsy is a treatment typically using ultrasound shockwaves, by which a kidney stone or other calculus is broken into small particles that can be passed out by the body. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a procedure that uses high energy shock waves to break down kidney stones into small crystals. Extra corporeal shockwave treatment (ESWT) is a procedure where shock waves are passed through the skin to the injured part of the body using a special device.

The current service that is provided within the Countess of Chester's urology department provides 1 session per month, with the option of a second session if required, within 1 month normally 10-12 patients are treated per session.

The tendering Contractors are required to read all of the documents attached to this Invitation To Tender (ITT) and respond by uploading documents to the e-procurement portal. The tendering Contractors are advised to visit the site before tendering to view the size of the treatment room to ensure that the lithotripter device is suitable.
