- Presence of a level P3 laboratory on the client's premises
Objectifves
The objective of the assignment is to ensure the renewal of the contract, in a context where the current contractor no longer meets the institution's requirements. The new contractor is therefore required to remedy the situation and meet the contractual objectives set:

- Service rate of the equipment set at 95%
- Coverage of small expenses, up to €500, in the contract package
- Monitoring of the contract and “ticketing” through a web application

In order to carry out the mission within a tight timeframe, CKS intervened with a proven methodology, namely:

- Drafting and publication of the AAPC.
- Support in the technical analysis of tenders (rereading tenders with the prescriber, highlighting inconsistencies in technical memoranda, rating the organisation of maintenance, securing the rating with regard to the rules of public procurement, etc.).
- Financial scoring of tenders (control of abnormally low tenders, consistency of prices with the level of service proposed, highlighting of any hidden costs).
- Production of an analysis report and a presentation report.
- Drafting and sending letters to obtain the elements required for the notification of contracts (insurance, tax and social security certificates, etc.)
- Drafting of rejection letters
