MANAGED EQUIPMENT SERVICES (MES)

This type of solution is a relatively new procurement method that improves collaboration between the public and private sectors. An MES solution allows you to benefit from the latest healthcare equipment with an always-on solution for a known fixed, monthly, quarterly, or annual fee. With an MES, the solution provider doesn’t just sell the equipment; they provide a full managed service for a fixed fee. This managed service agreement typically includes the following:

• Replacement of the equipment at given intervals ensuring it’s always up to date
• Full maintenance and service packages
• Consumable items
• Installation and commissioning of the equipment
• Training (as required)
• Facilities management
• Disposal of the equipment
• An asset and contract management system to monitor and track both the equipment and any associated contracts
• A bespoke financial solution designed to generate significant cost savings

With dwindling budgets hospital managers and procurement directors need to consider the cost of the investment, against the potential return more than ever. A Managed Equipment Service can provide an always-on solution that gives you access to innovative healthcare technology alongside many tangible cost-efficiency benefits.
