Medical equipment planning
We build department-by-department equipment schedules from your clinical services plan, with specifications, quantities, budgets and phasing.

Practice / BIO
Healthcare facilities, equipped and ready for patients.
We help hospitals, clinics and healthcare groups plan, buy, install and look after the equipment that clinical care depends on. Our team works from the first equipment list through to staff trained on working systems.
What we do
From an empty room to a working department
Equipment decisions shape budgets, facility layouts and patient outcomes for a decade or more. We bring clinical engineering judgment to each stage so you buy the right equipment once and keep it running.
Procurement and vendor evaluation
We prepare RFQs and tenders, evaluate bids on technical merit and lifetime cost, and support negotiation with manufacturers and distributors.
Deliverables- Tender documents
- Evaluation matrix
- Award recommendation
Facility readiness and commissioning
We check power, medical gases, water and room layouts before equipment arrives, then oversee installation and acceptance testing.
Deliverables- Readiness checklist
- Acceptance test records
- Snag list
Healthcare technology management
We set up asset registers, preventive maintenance programs and service contracts so equipment stays safe and available.

- Service contract review
Clinical training and handover
Clinical users and biomedical technicians are trained on each system before go-live, with records for accreditation.
Deliverables- Training plan
- Competency records
- Handover pack
Equipment audits
For existing facilities, we assess the condition, age and risk of your current fleet and recommend what to repair, replace or retire.

- Replacement plan
Standards
What we check equipment against
Every recommendation and acceptance test references the standards that apply to the device and the market it is going into.
| Standard | What it covers |
|---|---|
| IEC 60601 | Safety and essential performance of medical electrical equipment |
| ISO 13485 | Manufacturer quality management system for medical devices |
| FDA 510(k) / CE | Market clearance status of the specific model |
| IEC 62353 | Recurrent testing after repair and during routine maintenance |
| WHO guidance | Medical device procurement and maintenance in resource-limited settings |
