Belgium – Optician services – VERKOOP VAN CONTACTLENZEN RECHTSTREEKS AAN PATIËNTEN MET BIJHORENDE DIENSTVERLENING OP DE CAMPUS VAN UZ LEUVEN

The contracting authority wishes to enter into a 4-year agreement, with a possible extension of 2 years, with a preferred service provider who will be responsible for selling contact lenses to patients and providing the necessary support to patients in fitting them. This support will mostly need to be provided in Dutch. Knowledge of other languages will be considered a plus. The service provider will therefore need to be proficient in Dutch at a minimum. In addition, the service provider is also expected to provide continuous training and further education for UZ Leuven employees. In return for this service provision, the service provider will be given a space within the buildings of UZ Leuven for the duration of the agreement. The service provider will have to pay a monthly fixed fee (see further award criterion price) to UZ Leuven for this. The contracting authority attaches great importance to financial transparency in terms of billing to patients. The contracting authority reserves the right to award this contract to a maximum of 2 service providers (the top 2 in ranking) in order to guarantee the continuity of service provision but also to offer the necessary diversity in contact lenses to patients so that as wide a range of pathologies as possible can be treated.
