Supply and Maintenance of Cardiac Monitors/Defibrillators

The County of Hastings is soliciting proposals for the supply and maintenance of 27 cardiac monitors and defibrillators for use by Hastings-Quinte Paramedic Services. The scope of work includes the delivery, installation, and set-up of the units, as well as annual preventative maintenance over the equipment's expected five-year lifespan. Key deliverables include six rhythm simulators, stretcher-compatible stands meeting Provincial Equipment Standards for Ontario Ambulance Services, and a minimum of 10 percent loaner spares to eliminate downtime during repairs. All devices must be Health Canada approved, capable of running self-tests, and compliant with the Ontario Ministry of Health Equipment Standards for Advanced Cardiac Life Support and the guidelines of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. The procurement process follows a multi-stage evaluation focusing on mandatory submission and technical requirements, with pricing accounting for 20 points of the total score. Proponents must deliver the complete order within six weeks of the contract award, which is anticipated for January 29, 2027. All-inclusive pricing is required, though proponents may include trade-in values for existing monitors or optional leasing proposals. The successful vendor must provide all necessary training and certification, as well as proof of comprehensive insurance, including five million dollars in commercial general liability and two million dollars in automobile liability. Proposals must be submitted electronically by October 21, 2026, and include the mandatory submission and pricing forms.
