done after the routine working hours (9 AM to 5 PM) of the first party and certain other
pending cases, with a third party (defined hereby as a person with such reasonable level of
experience and expertise so as to report CT scans, either directly or through mass
communication modalities). In this case it would be the responsibility of the second party to
ensure patient privacy and protection of academic data by electronic coding and encryption
methods. If in any case contrary is proven later, the same shall be cognized as a breech of
contract.
2. The department will have full right over the data generated by proposed CT system, and this
would not be transmitted to any other agency without prior written permission of head of the
department.
3. The Second Party shall ensure best quality of CT Investigations and protocols as set by the

reviewed by the head of the department, who shall be the sole authority to recommend a
repeat examination at no extra cost.
5. The proposed CT centre shall allow members of all the faculties (Modern Medicine,
Ayurveda, Nursing Sciences and Dental Sciences) of IMS to have access to view CT Scans
of their respective patients for clinical management, and in no way the teaching / training /
research process and other academic activity (eg. workshops etc.) of IMS will be obstructed
at the facility by the second party
6. The Second Party may be permitted to use the premises of the facility for activities
pertaining to medical education (with or without the participation of the department).
However for all such activities a written permission would have to be taken from the head of
9
the department at least 7 days in advance. In case of any conflict of interest over such an
issue the University shall always have a priority.

would have to be made accessible to these systems.
8. The Second Party will have to do 20 (twenty) numbers of FREE cases (non cumulative) per
month for indigent class of persons. The Director/Incharge, Trauma Centre/Head of
department will have a reserved absolute right in this regard to recommend such cases for
particular CT Investigation.
9. The CT Scans of bonafide BHU staff and their dependents, as well as bonafide Students
shall be done free of cost initially. There would be arrangement made by the First Party to
reimburse the collective charges borne daily in this category by the Second Party within
reasonable period of time without delay.

Please be informed that :
1.
Each bidder/vendor has to submit a compliance report in hard copy as well an excel sheet in soft copy with
point wise response to each of the above mentioned criteria. The technical committee shall compare and
recommend a scanner which appears to fulfill most of the above cited criteria and, has the best response for
most of the parameters.
2.
Kindly refrain from mentioning ‘yes/no/complied’ etc only as your response. The response should be in form of
clear cut numerical values or technical facts, substantiated by page number/ line number of the data sheet
submitted (hard copy as well as PDF on a CD).
3.
The specifications mentioned above may be considered as the minimum cut-off. The technical committee shall
appreciate and may prefer a vendor/bidder offering an addition/recent technology/advance (if meaningful &
justifiable for the proposed set-up).
4.
Keeping pace with the trend, vis-à-vis comparison of few of the common investigations as far as the radiation
dose to patient is concerned, may also be a consideration while choosing equipment. The bidders/vendors are
requested to clearly provide a separate data sheet to this effect.
5.
Please provide certifications by relevant bodies (like IEC, AERB etc.) of the equipment and it’s individual
components, where ever required & provided as a standard.
