| 7 | 2026-02-16 | Technical Specifications Excel: Line 21 – Dimensions of maximum useful Field of View (FOV) and homogeneity, (x, y, z), cm We understand that the current minimum requirement of 50 × 50 × 45 cm defines the usable imaging volume and ensures acceptable baseline image quality. However, for a 3T MRI system intended for advanced clinical applications and national referral centers, a larger Field of View (FOV) provides significant clinical and operational advantages. A larger FOV of at least 55 × 55 × 50 cm enables broader anatomical coverage—such as shoulder, upper arm, and chest—in a single acquisition, reducing table movement and patient repositioning. It also enhances edge performance, particularly for obese patients or when anatomy is near the bore boundary, by leveraging a more homogeneous magnetic field. It’s quite strange that in the Lot 2 1.5T tender, the minimum FOV is specified as 50×50×50, while the 3T MRI lists a minimum FOV of 50×50×45. This is unusual, considering that 3T systems are expected to offer higher performance to support advanced clinical applications such as brachial plexus imaging and whole‑body oncology. Furthermore, this capability future-proofs the system for advanced applications, including large-field musculoskeletal and whole-body oncology imaging. To ensure superior capability is appropriately recognized and fairly evaluated, we respectfully request that a mandatory spec is a larger FOV of at least 55 × 55 × 50 cm. |
Many thanks for the question. Upon further review, MoH has decided to retain the current requirement to help ensure broad vendor participation. | Supply Requirements | Evaluation Process | Rated Criteria (Scoring Methodology) |

| 10 | 2026-02-17 | Technical Specifications Excel: Line 22–23 – Shimming We understand that magnetic field shimming involves both passive and active components. Active shimming is further categorized into different orders, typically 1st order shimming and higher-order shimming (2nd order and above). For a 3T MRI system, higher-order shimming is essential to maintain consistent image quality, particularly for sensitive applications like fat saturation and spectroscopy. The absence of 2nd order shimming can lead to specific compromises, such as poor spectral resolution resulting in inaccurate metabolite ratios in Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS). If the hospital’s spectroscopy and advanced neuroimaging data cannot meet global B0 homogeneity standards required by international consensus, they cannot participate in multi-center international research collaborations. Request for Fair Market Criteria To ensure that the importance of this capability is appropriately evaluated and to promote fair competition across the market, we request the following: 1. The requirement for 2nd order shimming (higher-order active shimming) should be explicitly added to the technical specifications. 2. This criterion should be designated as a Rated/Scored Criterion with additional points allocated, rather than a minimum mandatory requirement, to ensure market fairness while recognizing superior technical capability. 3. Market availability: Based on our knowledge of major vendors, systems equipped with this capability. |
Many thanks for the question. Upon further review, MoH has decided to revise this requirement in a forthcoming amendment. | Supply Requirements | Evaluation Process | Rated Criteria (Scoring Methodology) |
| 11 | 2026-03-03 | Technical Specifications – Scan Range We note that the minimum scan range is not explicitly defined. We request that the technical specification for the Minimum Scan Range be explicitly defined to ensure systems are capable of advanced, whole-body applications. We understand that all vendors currently offer a minimum scan range of 200 cm on their respective MRI 3T systems. Proposal: Mandatory Minimum Scan Range of 200 cm We request that the technical specification be updated to mandate a Minimum Scan Range of 200 cm. Rationale for Patient and Clinician Benefit: This minimum scan range is crucial as it enables a True Whole-Body MR capability. Enhanced Clinical Utility: A 200 cm scan range allows for seamless imaging of the entire human anatomy from head to toe in a single examination. Benefits for Patients: This is particularly beneficial for oncology and metastasis staging, as it provides clinicians with a complete, comprehensive overview of the disease state in one sitting, reducing the need for multiple, fragmented scans and improving patient comfort. Benefits for Clinicians: Clinicians gain improved diagnostic confidence and superior workflow efficiency when assessing multi-region pathology. |

| 13 | 2026-03-11 | Technical Specifications Excel: Line 172 – Extravasation (Leakage) Detection System The “Extravasation (Leakage) Detection System” is designed to prevent leakage of contrast media from the veins into surrounding tissue during high-pressure injections. In MRI procedures, contrast media is injected at lower pressures and flow rates (typically below 305 psi), and this function is not clinically required for MRI injectors. To ensure open and fair competition among MR providers, we respectfully request that the technical specification for the “Extravasation (Leakage) Detection System” be removed from the rated criteria. |

| 15 | 2026-03-11 | Technical Specifications Excel: Lines 48 & 50 – Standard Strength and Slew Rate, z-axis, mT/m & T/m/s To perform at the level expected of national referral centers, a low-tier specification of 35 mT/m and 150 T/m/s, or a mid-tier specification of 45 mT/m and 200 T/m/s, is insufficient for advanced neuro-oncological and cardiovascular workloads. 1. Advanced Diffusion Imaging: In Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) and Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI/Tractography)—procedures critical for pre-surgical brain mapping and stroke evaluation—gradient amplitude dictates the echo time (TE). Systems limited to 45 mT/m result in longer TE, which drastically reduces Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and increases geometric susceptibility distortion. Reference: Setsompop, K., et al. (2013). Pushing the limits of in vivo diffusion MRI for the Human Connectome Project. NeuroImage. 2. Clinical Necessity of 60/200: A 60 mT/m gradient amplitude allows for significantly shorter TEs and enables higher b-values, producing sharper, high-resolution diffusion images without the blurring seen in lower-spec systems. This precision is essential for millimeter-precise neurosurgery, white matter tract mapping, and early-stage tumor detection. Reference: Setsompop, K., et al. (2013). Pushing the limits of in vivo diffusion MRI for the Human Connectome Project. NeuroImage. Market Availability: All major equipment vendors currently offer MRI systems that meet these criteria. |

| 16 | 2026-03-11 | Technical Specifications – Proposed Criteria: Technology Age Limit We respectfully request the inclusion of a criterion requiring that the offered system must have received its latest major regulatory clearance (e.g., FDA 510(k) or CE Mark equivalent) within 10 years prior to tender issuance. The optimal lifecycle of a clinical MRI platform is approximately 10–12 years, and procuring a platform cleared more than a decade ago increases the risk of hardware obsolescence and limits adaptability to future AI-driven advancements. This requirement ensures that national referral centers receive modern architecture capable of supporting the next decade of technological evolution. |

| 17 | 2026-03-11 | Technical Specifications Excel: Line 153 – Fluid Heating Feature We understand that the “Fluid Heating Feature” is commonly used in CT or Cathlab procedures to prevent iodine-based contrast media from becoming freeze-dried. However, MRI contrast agents are gadolinium-based and do not require clinical warming. The contrast volume used in MRI procedures is significantly lower compared to CT or Cathlab procedures. Additionally, injector brands available in Indonesia typically do not include this feature. To ensure fair and open competition among MR providers, we respectfully request that this specification be removed from the rated criteria. |

| 19 | 2026-03-11 | Technical Specifications Excel: Line 204 – Head Coils – Number of Elements We understand that the current preferred specification is ≥ 32 elements. To ensure apex-level neuroimaging capabilities that are necessary for the national referral center level, we request that the preferred coil channel be updated to 64 channels. Reasons: 1. Prevent technological downgrade: Rumah Sakit Rusat Otak Nasional / RSPON currently operates with a 64-channel head/neck coil. Procuring new 3T systems with only a 20- or 32-channel coil will be a downgrade and regress their established clinical standards. 2. Clinical superiority: The number of coil channels directly correlates with signal capture and parallel imaging capabilities. A 64-channel coil provides massive SNR gains in the cerebral cortex and allows for significantly higher acceleration factors (e.g., simultaneous multi-slice imaging). This is vital for ultra-fast functional MRI (fMRI) and capturing high-resolution neurovascular images of critical patients before motion artifacts occur. Reference: Keil, B., & Wald, L. L. (2014).

| 20 | 2026-03-11 | Technical Specifications Excel: Line 167 – Rise Time Feature The “Rise Time Feature” is intended to reduce movement of an angiographic catheter during high-pressure injections. In MRI procedures, contrast media is not injected via an angiographic catheter, nor at high pressures (typically below 305 psi). Therefore, this feature is not clinically applicable to MRI injectors. To ensure fair and competitive evaluation among MR providers, we respectfully request that the technical specification for the “Rise Time Feature” be removed from the rated criteria. |

| 21 | 2026-03-11 | Technical Specifications – Proposed Criteria: Number of Certified Engineers in Indonesia We respectfully request the inclusion of a technical support criterion specifying the minimum availability of Level 3 (Expert-certified) engineers in Indonesia. 3T MRI systems require complex maintenance involving cryogenics, helium monitoring, and gradient calibration. Relying on a single engineer increases the risk of prolonged downtime during preventive maintenance or unexpected breakdowns. To ensure system uptime and sustainable service support, we respectfully propose that at least one Level 3 certified engineer be mandatory, with additional scoring allocated for vendors maintaining three or more Level 3 certified engineers in Indonesia. |
Many thanks for the question. Upon careful consideration, MoH has decided to retain the current requirements. As specified in the bidding documents, bidders are required to provide a comprehensive warranty and service contract as part of their bid, including annual preventive maintenance and a commitment to deliver these services within the specified timelines. Accordingly, bidders must specify and price all resources necessary to meet these requirements, including appropriately qualified and certified personnel to avoid unplanned downtime and the incurrence of performance-related penalties as specified in the bidding documents. | Supply Requirements | Evaluation Process | Technical Evaluation |

ITB 45.1 accommodates the Purchaser’s right, at the time of contract award, to increase or decrease quantities within the percentage specified in the Bidding Document (BD). GCC/SCC, by contrast, allows the Purchaser to make changes (including quantity adjustments) during contract implementation, after the contract has been signed. As such, MoH has decided to retain the current requirements. | Supply Requirements | Evaluation Process | Technical Evaluation |

At high magnetic field strengths and given the technical complexity of 3 Tesla systems, B1 inhomogeneity increases due to shorter RF wavelengths, which can lead to image distortion, shading (dielectric artifacts), and longer scanning times. P.S.: Parallel Transmit and Parallel Imaging (row number 74-75) are fundamentally different techniques. Parallel Transmit addresses B1 inhomogeneity issues prevalent in high magnetic field systems. In contrast, Parallel Imaging is an acceleration technique used to significantly reduce scanning time. Benefits Parallel Transmit: 1) Value for money, one time invesment in 3T includes dielectric shading solution which more obvious in high magneitc field. 2) Benefits for hospital, no future upgrade required to have parallel transmit, cost saving. 3) Benefits for patient, better patient care, better image quality for confidense diagnosis More information is available on the : https://mriquestions.com/multi-transmit-rf.html |

| 56 | 2026-03-13 | MRI 3T Row No 62&63 Channel Options Proposed Spec : Modify wording to : Channel Options With independent receiver channels for simultaneously in one single scan and in one single FoV. Required (Green); ≥ 64 channels Preferred (Yellow); ≥ 128 channels. Provide clear guidance to all vendors to ensure they use the same reference standard, as the terminology used by different vendors is diverse. More channels enable faster scanning (parallel imaging) with fewer effects on image quality, as well as allowing coils with more individual elements to be used. High number of RF is especially important for 3T and will result in better image quality and shorter scan times. High number of independent receiver channels for simultaneously in one single scan and in one single FoV, guarantees system compatibility with high channel RF-coils. For example in Oncology imaging with Whole Body MRI for cancer / metastasis screening, which required multiple coils connection. Benefits higher channels options : 1) Value for money, one time invesment in 3T high end system with more clinical capabilities for complex hospital setting at Class A / Paripurna. 2) Benefits for hospital, can accomodates various of patient condition with simple or complex clinical cases such as whole body MRI can plug multiple coils at one time, more faster exam, more productivities. 3) Benefits for patient, better patient care and one stop solutions for whole body oncology imaging |

We recommend that this specification be revised to require at least 3 coils to be connected simultaneously. The current requirement of ≥2 coils appears to be an error, particularly given the Ministry’s intention to conduct whole body scans with the MRI systems under procurement. Whole body scans typically require a minimum of 3 surface coils connected at the same time, excluding embedded coils, to ensure continuous anatomical coverage across multiple body regions without repeated coil changes or patient repositioning. Systems capable of connecting 3 coils simultaneously also support parallel imaging techniques that significantly accelerate acquisition times while maintaining high spatial resolution and signal to noise ratio. By contrast, MRI systems limited to 2 simultaneously connected coils do not provide adequate anatomical coverage for whole body imaging. Resulting scans often produce lower quality images, especially of the lower peripheral regions, which may adversely affect diagnostic accuracy. Operators must then reposition the patient for additional scans, interrupting workflow and reducing efficiency. All major MRI vendors offer systems in which 3 coils can connect simultaneously, so correcting this specification will not restrict competition for this tender. |

| 66 | 2026-03-15 | Absent - We recommend adding to the bidding documents R15_MRI_1.5T_Technical_Part_Publish_13022026: System suitable for installation on floors above ground level Please consider adding a new requirement that will afford the hospitals greater flexibility by ensuring the MRIs are suitable for floors above the ground level. We request that the Ministry include a requirement that the 1.5T MRI system be suitable for installation on floors above the ground level, consistent with industry best practices. MRI manufacturers now design lighter systems that can be installed on upper floors, subject to appropriate structural and safety assessments. Advances in magnet technology are driving this trend. This flexibility is important because many leading hospitals around the world locate their radiology departments on upper floors to keep MRI systems close to other imaging modalities and improve workflow efficiency. Older MRI models, by contrast, are too heavy to be installed anywhere other than the ground floor, which can create workflow constraints and limit optimal department layout. All major MRI vendors offer solutions that are suitable for installation above the ground level, so including this requirement will not limit competition. |

(iv) On uptime performance linked payment: twelve-point five percent (12.5%) of the Unitary Contract Price shall be paid every six (6) months for the quantity of Goods that have been accepted and fully commissioned subject to adjustment for any penalties due to delayed repairs or excessive downtime. This payment shall be made over four (4) consecutive half-year periods within thirty (30) days of submission of claim supported by ASPAK* data for the corresponding period,... Please consider amending this requirement to ensure fixed priced invoices are issued to the supplier, which will lead to better prices from bidders, and enable the awarded bidder to finance the invoices through a bank. We request that this requirement be modified to allow 4 unconditional fixed price invoices, each representing 12.5% of the Unitary Contract Price, to be issued every half year over a 2-year period. Penalties should be settled separately from these performance independent payments. Fixed price invoices remove variability in invoice value, enabling suppliers to sell the receivables to banks to secure financing. This reduces the supplier’s burden of self financing large projects and can result in better pricing from bidders who anticipate selling their invoices. This approach is also consistent with industry practice. Invoices that remain subject to penalties are treated by banks as variable in value and therefore cannot be financed. |
