| 38 | 2025-01-28 | Reference: Schedule of Requirements Page 95 Request and Clarification: We would like to request MoH to consider the option of having four lots per type of equipment. The current RFB requires such a high volume of equipment for only 1 lot which makes it difficult for even large and reputable firms to bid even in a JV. Having separate lots per region may also help MoH manage risks by diversifying supplier options. It also means that the bids can be adjusted to the local requirements of different regions. |
This question is similar to the previous question #96. Please refer to the respective response | Bidding Procedure | Procurement Regulations | Eligible Bidders (including joint venture) |
| 39 | 2025-01-28 | Reference: Specific Experience Page 52-53 Request and Clarification: In order to ensure that MoH receives compliant bids, we would like to propose for MoH to allow bidders to have past contract experience to supply and install similar equipment of minimum cumulative units in any TWO years within the last seven years prior to the bid submission deadline. The requirement for cumulative units installed in one year is reasonable for other IHSS tenders because other RFBs were divided into several lots for different regions in Indonesia therefore companies can bid on selected lots. However, the procurement of Infant Warmers and Major Laboratory Analyzers combines the significant volume of equipment into only 1 lot for all regions in Indonesia. The significant experience required makes it impossible for bidders to participate even with a joint venture. Allowing bidders to use past contract experience in any two years will ensure that MoH receives compliant and costeffective bids. As the MOH plans to distribute the installations over two years, we are proposing to also allow bidders to use placement data from two years. This will provide proof that the bidder can fulfill all the requirements in the requested time frame. |
This question is similar to the previous question #96. Please refer to the respective response | Bidding Procedure | Procurement Regulations | Eligible Bidders (including joint venture) |
| 40 | 2025-01-28 | Dear Procurement Committee 4: We are writing to see clarifications on the following questions, pursuant to Instructions to Bidder (ITB 7.1) of the bidding documents: Reference: Specific Experience Page 52-53 Request and Clarification: For Lot 3 (Urine Analyzer), we would like to strongly recommend that the MOH reduce the required past contract experience to supply similar equipment of minimum cumulative units to 100 units annually in any year within the last seven years prior to the bid submission deadline. The proposed 100 units in 1 year is still a very large number and we believe it is sufficient to show experience because the Urine Analyzer instrument is a very small hand-held or table-top device which requires close to no special experience to install in a lab (plug and play instrument). The more important factor is the manufacturing capacity of 50% of the order quantity for the last 4 years to make sure the company can meet the demand of the tender. Therefore, the risk for MoH is very low that a company would not be able to install the required 2,643 units if the bidder is manufacturing over 1,321 units per year for the last 4 years. |
Many thanks for this feedback. MoH has considered this request, and will review the qualification criteria related to specific experience. In the event that it is deemed that any changes are required, based on additional market research, an amendment shall be issued to reflect such changes. MoH would moreover like to kindly remind prospective Bidders that in the event that a Bidder is unable to meet any of the qualification criteria stipulated in the relevant Bidding Document, including those related to mandatory minimum average annual turnover (AATO), specific experience, manufacturing experience, and technical capacity, on their own, they have the option of entering into a joint venture with a maximum of two other entities, as per BDS ITB 4.1. In this case, requirements related to AATO, specific experience, and, where relevant, manufacturing experience and technical capacity, are to be met by all members combined. However, in the case of AATO, the lead partner must also meet a minimum of 40% of the total AATO requirement stipulated in the relevant Bidding Document, while each other non-lead partner is required to meet a minimum of 20% of the total AATO requirement, as specified in the relevant Bidding Document. |

| 41 | 2025-01-28 | Reference: Urine Analyzer (Semi Automated) Technical Specification Excel Spreadsheet, Row 21: Open System Request and Clarification: Row 21: Open System We kindly request MoH to clarify what is considered an “Open System”. Our understanding of an open system is a urine analyzer that uses 3rd party consumables (e.g. test trips). If this is the case, we recommend the specification to be removed because there is no urine analyzer in the market that uses 3rd party strips. Urine Analyzers use specific wavelengths, and their strips are designed for compatibility. Third-party strips may affect accuracy and require evaluation before use. |

Note: Compliance with this requirement may also be achieved by the supply and installation of a suitable air conditioning system. Input/question to World Bank and MOH : Can MOH please clarify, does the analyzer only need to be operational within the temperature range of 22-32 C, or is it for bidder to specify the range needed for the analyzer to be operational? While this is a mandatory/green requirement, the sentence "If it is not please specify the range needed." implies that bidder does not need to meet the "22-32 C" temperature range and is allowed to specify a different range and still meet/pass the mandatory/green technical requirements. Please confirm if it is up to the manufacturer to specify the verified temperature range which can be different from the stated "22-32 C" requirement. |

| 58 | 2025-01-28 | Reference: User Training Page 102 Request and Clarification: For Lot 3 (Urine Analyzer), we would like to respectfully bring to MoH’s attention that the required two in-person training and onsite installation followed by yearly onsite preventive maintenance may not be feasible, practical, or very helpful for the users due to the very simple nature of the urine analyzer. Urine Analyzers are point-of-care medical devices that are typically hand-held or very simple table-top equipment. The operation of the equipment is composed of just dipping the test strip into the urine sample and inserting the strip into the device. Because of this, the instruments only need to be plugged in and a training session to use the equipment will not last 15 mins. It will not be cost-effective for the MoH to pay for the travel and accommodation for trainers to travel to 2,643 locations twice for only a 15min training session. We would like to recommend to MoH to just require bidders to provide recorded video presentations of the user guide which can be delivered in a USB device to the hospital so that users can play the video even without internet connection. Bidders may also create a “hotline” or “call center” for user questions which will be more valuable than the on- site installation and training. Due to the simple nature of the product, there are usually no spare parts for maintenance. Any defects covered by the warranty are addressed by replacing the product so there is also no yearly maintenance to be done. We recommended to remove the yearly onsite maintenance since there is no specific service activity to be done. |
Many thanks for this feedback. Upon review, MoH has decided to revise the requirement so that the second training can be conducted online. The requirement relating to annual preventive maintenance will remain unchanged, as it has determined that it is not restrictive. | Supply Requirements | Evaluation Process | Technical Evaluation |

We urge MOH and the World Bank to please consider the critical input from us and to make the necessary adjustments/revisions. We also believe early notice will be helpful for all stakeholders involved and reduce health stresses from short notice updates/changes. Our requests are in connection to ensure good, fair, transparent and healthy participation of the entire market for an eventual successful tender process for the ultimate benefit of the people of Indonesia. Best Regards, Tech Specs Line# or RFB section : 21 PROPOSED DEVICE INFORMATION : Precision REQUIREMENTS : ≤ 0.5% Remission Input/question to World Bank and MOH : Can MOH please clarify and help to define how precision is calculated, with what parameter to be used? Is this related to a specific component or optical element within the system? There are different industrial measures/parameters of precision to ensure quality results. |
Many thanks for this feedback. In urine analyzers, "remission" refers to the percentage of light reflected from the test strip during analysis. The requirement means that the variation in reflectance measurement shall not exceed 0.5% across multiple tests under the same conditions. This is an index of the repeatability of the system. | Supply Requirements | Evaluation Process | Technical Evaluation |

| 62 | 2025-01-28 | Tech Specs Line# or RFB section : 36 PROPOSED DEVICE INFORMATION : Climate Control Systems REQUIREMENTS : Required. Analyzer has climate control systems in place to ensure quality results at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 to 40 degrees Celsius. Input/question to World Bank and MOH : Can MOH please clarify, what does "climate control systems" entail/include specifically? The instruments are fully tested and validated before manufacturing release to operate within the specified range, and generate accurate urinalysis results conforming to international standards. Besides temperature, the instruments encompass proprietary technology that would allow automatic detection and flagging of urine strips that are compromised by excessive ambient humidity due to its benchmark sensitivity. In order to conform to diagnostic and clinical standards for generating trusted and quality urinalysis results, it is advisable to keep patient urine samples refrigerated at temperatures between 2°C and 8° Celsius. Temperatures above this range could negatively impact patient results and clinical outcomes. Reagents and consumables are also subject to temperature control. We recommend for end-user sites to critically maintain ambient environment conditions besides controlling internal operating conditions to produce optimal diagnostic results. |

| 67 | 2025-01-28 | Tech Specs Line# or RFB section : N/A PROPOSED DEVICE INFORMATION : Reagents funding and procurement during the contract term REQUIREMENTS : - Input/question to World Bank and MOH : We respectfully request World Bank and MOH to please consider the following: unlike past modalities that were up for tender, reagent consumption quantity/rate is a key and crucial element for modalities such as urine analyzer (reagents/consumables are as pertinent as the equipment itself). We observe currently there to be no reagents/consumables volume commitment for the total project scope or information regarding end user sites' expected consumption/rate, except only for the starter kit. To ensure that MOH and Indonesia benefits from the most value for money (VfM) bid (which is the original intention of such a RFB), we kindly request World Bank and MOH to please provide expected consumption or commitment to minimum consumption/rate on an annual basis at least for the first 5 years, after the starter kit has been fully consumed. We would also like to enquire, what would be the procurement procedure for reagent and consumables during the contract term after starter kit has been fully consumed? |
Many thanks for this feedback. Bidders are kindly requested to refer to the "test menu" and "consumables" sections, as well as the dedicated "proposed consumables" sheet of the relevant technical specification. Bidders are required to provide all required consumables, as well as specify and provide any additional proprietary consumable required for analyzer function, in the quantity specified in the relevant technical specification as part of the starter pack, to be delivered with the main unit. The corresponding cost of this starter pack forms part of the bid price. In addition to this, Bidders are required to quote a fixed price for all consumables, in the quantity specified in the relevant technical specification, which shall be valid for 5 years upon successful acceptance testing & commissioning.

Thank you for your question. If Goods and Services are supplied separately (e.g., Goods supplied from abroad and Services performed from within the Purchaser's country), the Letter of Credit (LC) will apply only to the portion of Goods supplied from abroad. For Services performed within the Purchaser's country, payment shall continue to be processed using direct payment disbursement method. Bidders are moreover kindly requested to note that for Goods supplied within the Purchaser's country, there is no payment milestone on "shipment" (only on "delivery") and therefore, there will be no LC required. | Supply Requirements | Evaluation Process | Technical Evaluation |
| 70 | 2025-01-28 | Reference: Installation Certificate/Completion Report Page 53 Request and Clarification: We would like to highlight that Urine Analyzers are point-of-care medical devices that are typically hand-held, plug and play devices or simple table-top equipment. As such, installation reports for Urine Analyzers are not common practice both by manufacturers and end customers because of the very simple nature of the product. We respectfully request the MoH to remove the requirement for installation reports for Urine Analyzers. Bidders may still submit copies of contracts/purchase orders as a proof for the transaction AND delivery orders as a proof for customer acceptance of the product. |
Many thanks for the question. As specified in the relevant bidding documents, Bidders are required to demonstrate that they have successfully and substantially completed similar goods and related services (installation) under the relevant contract. This experience may stem from Indonesia, or abroad, but, as delineated by the relevant bidding documents, it must be substantiated by the provision of detailed information regarding contracts completed, including the purchaser’s name and address, country, name and object of the contract, scope of services, date of contract completion, equipment supplied, contract amount, contract role (prime supplier, subcontractor, partner in Joint Venture) and percent of the contract value undertaken by subcontract. As a proof of the compliance, the Bidder is required to provide copies of relevant pages of signed contracts and corresponding completion certificates. If any such contract includes a confidentiality/non-disclosure clause and the bidder does not agree to provide a copy (to be confirmed by a formal letter), such bidder must provide other documents acceptable for MoH (such as copy of purchase order/delivery order). There is, by contrast, no specific request to provide installation certificates and/or completion reports to fulfill the specific experience requirement. |

| 73 | 2025-01-30 | Based on RFB No: ID-PMU SOPHI-460831-GO-RFB, Lot 2 - Automated Hemoglobin System’s technical specification NO. 57, it is stipulated that at least 17” colour LCD touchscreen is needed. However, it is important to consider the practical challenges associated with the use of touchscreens in laboratory environments. Since laboratory's staffs always wear gloves in the lab, using a touchscreen computer while wearing gloves can often cause it to stop responding properly. Furthermore, the gloves often come into contact with biological samples and chemicals, which can damage or contaminate the screen.

Retic Absolute Parameter Test Preference - Regarding the retic absolute parameter test on row number 27, I would like to suggest that the absolute value is Mandatory (Green Color) than the percentage for clinical interpretation. - For your information, the advantages of measuring absolute reticulocytes over percentage reticulocytes include : - Bone Marrow Activity: The absolute count provides a clearer picture of bone marrow activity by accounting for variations in total red blood cell (RBC) numbers. This is crucial because RBC counts can vary based on factors like gender, anemia type, and other conditions. - Treatment Response: Monitoring changes in absolute reticulocytes over time can indicate how well the body is responding to treatments such as iron supplementation or erythropoietin therapy. An increase in absolute retics suggests a positive response. - Differentiation of Conditions: Absolute counts help distinguish between different anemia types, such as iron deficiency (high absolute retics due to increased production) versus megaloblastic anemia (low absolute retics due to ineffective production). - Hemolytic Anemia: In this condition, where RBCs are destroyed rapidly, a high absolute reticulocyte count reflects the bone marrow's compensatory response. - Clinical Indices: Absolute counts allow for calculations like the reticulocyte index, which provides insights into bone marrow activity relative to overall RBC production. - Lab Variability: While some analyzers provide absolute counts directly, when available, they offer more actionable data than percentages alone, which can be influenced by factors like hydration. - In essence, absolute reticulocyte counts are a valuable tool for assessing bone marrow health, monitoring treatment effectiveness, and aiding in the diagnosis and management of various hematologic conditions. - I recommend prioritizing the absolute reticulocyte parameter and suggest not |

This bidder refers to all members if there is a JV or one member is allowed. I learnt that this is different from installation experience where it is clearly stated that the |
Many thanks for your question. With regards to your question related to the "manufacturing experience and technical capacity", since Bidder can only proposes one model of the Goods offered, then only technical experience and manufacturing capacity of the manufacturer of the proposed model that shall be quoted/used (being specified on the question as one of the JV member). | Supply Requirements | Evaluation Process | Technical Evaluation |
| 142 | 2025-02-16 | Hope this email finds you well. This is XXX. I am writing to you on behalf of my company- XXX Sincerely request for your clarification for the below question about LOT 2: Automated Hemoglobin System / Hematology Analyzer (ID-PMU SOPHI-460831-GO-RFB). The fluorescent staining method is commonly used in high-end hematology analyzers to specifically stain the nucleic acid substances in the cells with specific fluorescent dye, thereby improving the ability to identify abnormal cells. In order to meet the needs of mid- to high-end hospitals, the throughput of CBC mode on hematology analyzers with this method is generally around 100T/H. The chemical staining method is widely used in entry-level and middle-level hematolody analyzers to classify blood cell by identifying the size and internal complexity of cells. Nowadays, hospitals have an increasing demand for equipment automation, whether it is for CBC or RET test. However, manual pretreatment and extra operation for RET test are still required on some of mid-low-level hematology analyzers with thoughput around 60T/H, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. In order to prevent some individual manufacturers from using outdated equipment to participate in the tender and to improve Indonesia's medical standards, it is recommended that the throughput of CBC should be changed to a minimum of 100 T/H rather than the minimum of 30T/H and should be required with fully-automatic system for CBC and RET test. Thank you very much and looking forward to your reply. |

| 143 | 2025-02-19 | Good day, We are partnering with a Manufacturer of Infant Warmers for this tender and they have given us their manufacturing authorization (MA). Please kindly adivse which of the following approaches we must follow. 1. The MA is sufficient evidence of a partnership for us to use the manufacturers experience as part of our bid submission. 2. We require a joint venture (new legal entity) to use the manufacturers experience as part of our bid submission. 3. We can simply enter into a teaming agreement outlining each party’s roles and responsibilities which will allow us to use the manufacturers experience as part of our bid submission. We look forward to your reply. |
Many thanks for the question. Bidders are required to provide evidence to demonstrate that they meet the mandatory minimum average annual turnover (AATO), specific experience, manufacturing experience, and technical capacity requirements stipulated in the relevant Bidding Documents. In the event of a joint venture, requirements related to specific experience, and, where relevant, manufacturing experience and technical capacity, may be met by all members combined. In the case of AATO, the lead partner must meet a minimum of 40% of the total AATO requirement stipulated in the relevant Bidding Document, while each other non-lead partner is required to meet a minimum of 20% of the total AATO requirement, as specified in the relevant Bidding Document. The specific experience and AATO of non-joint venture members shall not be considered. Bidders are able to fulfill the manufacturing experience and technical capacity requirement stipulated in the RFB if they are able to provide evidence of being duly authorized by a manufacturer (Manufacturer’s Authorization Form, Section IV, Bidding Forms) to supply the relevant Goods under the RFB, provided the manufacturer satisfies the specified manufacturing experience and technical capacity requirements. |

Many thanks for the question. The determination of whether an eligible Bidder meets the Qualification Criteria specified in the procurement document shall not take into consideration the qualifications of other firms such as the Bidder’s subsidiaries, parent entities, affiliates, subcontractors (other than specialized subcontractors if permitted in the bidding document), or any other firm different from the Bidder. In the event that a Bidder is unable to meet any of these requirements on their own, they have the option of entering into a joint venture with a maximum of two other entities. | Bidding Procedure | Procurement Regulations | Rated Criteria (Scoring Methodology) |
