1. Objective

Ornge Base Hospital requires a number of LifeCast Mannequins including Pre-Term Baby, Full Term Baby, Toddler, Child, Adult and Geriatric models for Ornge paramedic education. The Ornge Base Hospital has determined that mannequins with the attributes described below in the Mandatory Requirements will be best suited to the Ornge education program.

To the best of our knowledge, Echo Healthcare is the only source for the mannequins as described in the Mandatory Requirements below. Ornge intends to enter into negotiations with Echo Healthcare for an initial three year agreement with the option to extend for two additional terms of one year each.

This is an Advanced Contact Award Notice (ACAN) with the intention to:

notify the vendor community that we believe there is only one source for goods and services described herein; and
allow for any other vendors to submit notice that they also offer such goods and services.

Respondents compliant to the Mandatory Requirements set forth herein may submit their interest and statement of capabilities, in writing, to the contact person identified in this Notice on or before the Response Deadline.

Should any other compliant vendors be identified during the posting period, Ornge will proceed to invite all compliant respondents to participate in a competitive procurement process. If no other compliant vendor submits their interest, on or before the closing date of this notice, the competitive requirements of Ornge are considered to have been met. Following notification to any respondents not successful in demonstrating that they meet the requirements set out in this Notice, the contract may then be awarded to the pre-identified source.
