A framework agreement for the cable work to the IT infrastructure on the premises of the University Medical Center Hamburg Eppendorf is being put out to tender.

The University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) is the largest hospital in Hamburg and one of the largest university hospitals in Germany. There are about 85 buildings on an area of about 35 hectares. A map can be found in the appendix.

When carrying out wiring work, it is necessary to pay attention to the following special features:

a) On the one hand, the work is carried out on construction sites in the course of renovations, extensions, conversions and new buildings, and on the other hand, changes and extensions to existing buildings, i.e. during ongoing operations.

b) As is customary with hospitals, most of the buildings affected by the individual orders provide round-the-clock care for patients on all days of the week, so that ongoing hospital operations must be taken into account during the planning and execution of the cabling measures and regular coordination must be made with several different responsible departments of the hospital administration and its operations.

c) Furthermore, unforeseeable interruptions in executions must be expected due to ongoing hospital operations.

d) In the case of cabling measures, it cannot be assumed that a corresponding specialist planner will always be involved by the client. In these cases, the contractor must take over the planning services required for the cabling himself.

e) The approximately 85 buildings are both new and old. Especially in the case of old buildings, it should be noted that construction-related obstacles (reinforced walls, crawl structures, arched ceilings, etc.) must be expected with the cable routes, which can increase the effort.

f) The University Hospital is fully digitalized and is therefore instructed to have a functioning IT network. The UKE Cabling Directive (part of the tender documents) takes this into account by ensuring that cable routes to the buildings and floors are implemented redundantly on 2 routes and that the floor cabling is carried out alternately from 2 floor distributors and on 2 routes. As a result, increased planning effort is also to be expected for the contractor.

The subject of the procurement is a framework agreement for the IT cabling infrastructure, specifically for individual cabling measures in existing buildings and in new buildings, with a term of 4 years.
