Supply of Radiopharmaceuticals to Perth Children's Hospital

The Child and Adolescent Health Service (CAHS) has a requirement for the supply and delivery Free into Store (FIS) of radiopharmaceuticals to Perth Children’s Hospital.

The radiopharmaceuticals are used in nuclear medicine to create images for the diagnosis of diseases and disorders in paediatric patients. The most common methods of introducing the radiopharmaceuticals to the paediatric patients are via the bloodstream or digestive system. The radiopharmaceuticals decay and give off radiation, which is detected by the nuclear medicine gamma camera. The radiation is measured from different angles as it leaves the paediatric patient and images are produced.

Different radiopharmaceuticals have varied clinical uses and must be supplied in accordance with the clinical requirement.

The radiopharmaceuticals must be ordered, received and utilised within strict time criteria due to the radiation decay through the half-life of the radioisotope.

A panel arrangement is to be established. The Respondent may offer to supply some or all of the required Products. The Head Agreement established as a result of this Request will constitute a standing offer, whereby the Customer can place Orders on an ‘as required’ basis during the Term.

The objective of this procurement is to ensure that the type and quantity of radiopharmaceuticals are available as required by the CAHS.
