Thanks! | | Pricing/RFP Good morning, can you please answer the questions below from Epredia 1. Is there a list of products and instruments to be quoted? We do not see one in the RFP 2. We are a Manufacturer on the Vizient contract, which can be purchased direct or through Fisher Healthcare in your system currently. 3. Do we need to submit local contract pricing for all of our products and instruments for this bid? If this is the case it would have to be direct purchasing only. 4. Do we need to submit the Vizient pricing? 5. We would like to be the contract holder for these products and instruments for the University of UT. Please let us know what direction we should go with this RFP. Arrow Right Answer: 1. No, there is not a list. This is an open invite for vendors to offer whatever they feel would fall under the scope of work as laid out in the RFP under contract. 2. We utilize Vizient, but only for our Health sciences departments. This is an opportunity to have a direct contract with the University of Utah versus going through a GPO that other, non health sciences related departments AKA campus wide departments could utilize. 3. That's up to you what you want to offer within the scope, and pricing is up to you as well. We just request a discount as a show of good faith for entering into a contract together. 4. Pricing is up to you, but this is not a Vizient contract. If you want to use that list for your pricing/discounts, by all means, but that's up to you. 5. Then please respond to the RFP with the list of products and discounted pricing you'd like to offer us. This RFP may result in multiple contracts so please note it won't be exclusive to just one vendor. Any vendors who score above the required threshold will then enter into the contracting phase. | Pricing/RFP Good morning, can you please answer the questions below from Epredia 1.
