Dear Tamar,

I would like to share three more offers for your consideration. This is the first offer from Linet.

Best,

Volkan

PS. I sent three offers together, but I received an error message stating that the email wasn’t delivered. If you already received it, sorry for this duplicate email.

Dear Volkan and Maddalena,

I would like to bring to your attention an offer for three products from Linet (www.linet.cz), one of the largest global producers of hospital beds that provides beds for intensive care, regular inpatient care, and special beds for hospitals for the long-term sick: (i) Intensive Care Patient Beds, 4 models; (ii) Med-Surg Patient Beds, 1 model; (iii) Transport Stretcher, 1 model. The attached Linet Offer Summary sheet outlines contracted models, key features, pricing, and other contract terms for each proposed device. Offer prices are provided in the attached Registration of Interest Form (ROI Form). Please note that the pricing for each offered product will expire on Thursday December 31, 2020.

All offered patient beds meet or exceed World Health Organization and ECRI (Emergency Care Research Institute) developed baseline technical performance specifications that are provided in Appendix A of the Offer Summary sheet. As an additional resource, please also find attached the latest BFP side-by-side patient bed comparison table. Please note that Linet has also offered a transport stretcher for consideration by Borrower countries. The attached Linet Offer Summary sheet outlines this product, its key features, pricing, and other contract terms.

It is encouraged that the Borrower country confirm their interest in the products offered by Linet by completing the ROI Form as soon as possible, confirming which products and quantities are needed. An early confirmation of the products and quantities will help us assure availability. Linet will then quickly advise the precise lead time and CIP Pricing, after which the Borrower has 7 days to sign a contract to procure. If after this date the Borrower has not signed the contract, Linet will cancel the reservation in their production schedule.
