Through this public contract, AZ Sint-Lucas Brugge wishes to appoint one or more suppliers for the supply of a central drug distribution system with the possibility of automated picking at decentralized locations, in the context of the complete renewal of the hospital pharmacy and the automation of the drug distribution process.

The objectives are:

- Increasing patient safety by preventing errors in the entire process;

- Obtaining a complete trace of the medication, from entry into the pharmacy to administration to the patient, while complying with all legal requirements (e.g. the new Falsified Medicines Directive, tracing of medicines and materials, ...);

- Increasing the efficiency in the operation of the hospital pharmacy, by combining a standardized, simple, largely automated, process flow and an optima... (see order documents)

To support the 24-hour distribution of the unidose medication, the hospital wishes to purchase a robotic unidose packaging/distribution solution. These robot(s) must automate the repackaging of medication in multiple forms (blisters, ampoules, syringes, ...) to unidosis medication, as well as its storage, distribution and returns.

The software can be linked to the existing systems of the hospital (either WMS (cfr. Lot 2 WMS), or the existing pharmacy package (Infohos/Zorgi)).

The hospital also wishes to purchase a WMS (Warehouse Management System) to support the existing EMF (Nexuzhealth) and pharmacy package (Infohos/Zorgi).

The WMS must control all new hardware, as well as the existing box robot (BD Rowa) and the emergency cabinets already procured, but yet to be installed, and will have to continuously exchange information with the existing software packages of the hospital.

In addition, the WMS will also be responsible for stock management and restocking, both of the medication present in the robots and the emergency cabinets, and the medication stored on racks, pallets and refrigerators.

The WMS will also have to manage the production of unidoses, based on daily consumption figures and available stocks.

The WMS must also control the picking and distribution, both from the robots, as well as from the racks, pallets and refrigerators, supported by scanning with mobile devices. To this end, both the patient trays and the bins supplying the services will have to be equipped with electronic labels. Picking and distribution must be consolidated. To this end, an integrated solution is requested with, for example, drop-to-light support (or equivalent). Finally, the filled patient trays must be able to be brought to the wards in a smooth and traceable manner and received by scanning.

Finally, the WMS must also support the processing of returns by means of drop-to-light sorting (or equivalent).

This plot includes, in addition to the WMS, also the supporting hardware, as described:

- The mobile devices for scanning on racks, pallets and refrigerators;

- The electronic labels on the patient trays and bins;

- The drop-to-light support (or equivalent) used in distributing, and in processing the returns;

- The scanners to follow up the delivery to the departments.
