ASL Salerno, in partnership with national procurement agency Consip, has published a €57 million tender for the management and maintenance of more than 22,000 healthcare devices. The equipment supports healthcare services for a population approaching one million people in the Salerno area.
The planned model assigns global and integrated responsibility to a single economic operator. Under this approach, one contractor would handle full-risk technical assistance, daily operational management, and the ongoing renewal of medical equipment.
The tender covers six strategic clinical areas, which were not enumerated in the reporting retrieved. Supplier remuneration is intended to be linked to performance indicators measuring equipment efficiency and availability.
The reported deadline for receiving bids is 30 September. The article identifies Gennaro Sosto as director general of ASL Salerno and vice president of Federsanità.
What remains unclear is whether the tender has been awarded and which operator, if any, has been selected. The contract duration and detailed financial structure were not specified in the material retrieved, and independent confirmation of wider national adoption of the model was not acquired.
