New clarification added: Dear Sir/Madam,Following a detailed technical and clinical review of the Schedule of Requirements, we are writing on behalf of the official distributor of FUJIFILM Corporation (Japan) in Ukraine,  respectfully request clarification regarding the below technical parameters. Our intention is to ensure alignment with established MRI physics principles, modern clinical practice, and open competition standards while preserving full diagnostic capability.1. Item 1.3.8– Magnet homogeneity must be 3.3 ppm V-RMS or less, in a volume of 50x50x45cm or in a sphere with 50 cm diameter.Current requirement: Magnet homogeneity must be 3.3 ppm V-RMS or less, in a volume of 50x50x45cm or in a sphere with 50 cm diameterThis parameter was previously specified for an MRI with a gantry aperture of 60 cm and remained unchanged as the aperture increased. Considering that different manufacturers use different measurement systems and a possible field size of 50 x 50 x 45 cm, we ask you to specify the field uniformity requirements for a sphere with a diameter of 45 cm. to expand the number of participants.Proposed reformulation:Magnet homogeneity must be 3.3 ppm V-RMS or less, in a volume of 50x50x45cm or in a sphere with 45 cm diameter.2. Item 1.6.5 – Scan Range ≥ 200 cmCurrent requirement: “The system's scan range must be 200 cm or greater.”MRI image quality depends on B₀ magnetic field homogeneity, gradient linearity, RF transmission uniformity, and coil sensitivity profiles optimized around the magnet isocenter. Extended anatomical coverage in modern MRI systems is achieved through multi-station acquisition with automated table movement and image composition.Whole-body MRI is routinely performed using multi-station protocols, with effective stitched coverage typically 150–180 cm in adults. Continuous 200 cm single-station acquisition is not standard clinical practice. A strict ≥200 cm requirement may therefore unintentionally limit competition without improving diagnostic performance.Proposed reformulation:“The MRI system must support extended anatomical coverage through automated table movement and multi-station acquisition with image composition capability. The patient table longitudinal movement shall be at least 150–160 cm.”3. Item 1.7.1.5 – Extremity Coil ≥ 12 ElementsCurrent requirement: “1 (one) coil for Extremity studies with 12 or more elements.”Extremity MRI performance depends on SNR, anatomical coverage, and parallel imaging efficiency rather than strictly on element count within a single rigid coil.Our configuration includes one 8-element extremity coil and one 4-element coil operating simultaneously, providing ≥12 active channels during acquisition.Proposed reformulation:“1 (one) coil solution for Extremity studies providing at least 12 active channels during acquisition. The system may utilize a single coil or a combination of coils operating simultaneously.”4. Item 1.8.5 – Image Reconstruction Speed ≥ 50,000 reconstructions/secCurrent requirement: “Image reconstruction speed: no less than 50,000 reconstructions/sec.”We respectfully request clarification on the clinical and technical relevance of this parameter.MRI reconstruction is not a simple linear process measured purely in reconstructions per second. Modern MRI systems utilize distributed parallel computing architectures, multi-core CPUs, high-performance GPUs, and dedicated reconstruction pipelines.Advanced reconstruction techniques include parallel imaging (SENSE/GRAPPA-like methods), compressed sensing, iterative reconstruction algorithms, AI-based denoising, deep-learning reconstruction, and real-time motion correction. These techniques are computationally intensive but optimized for workflow efficiency rather than raw reconstruction counts.Clinical workflow efficiency depends on total pipeline optimization: data acquisition buffering, k-space processing, Fourier transformation, coil combination algorithms, image filtering, and background post-processing running in parallel.Total patient examination time significantly exceeds raw reconstruction time. Therefore, specifying a numeric threshold such as 50,000 reconstructions/sec does not necessarily correlate with clinical performance, throughput, or image quality.A fixed hardware-oriented benchmark may unintentionally favor specific system architectures and limit competition without measurable clinical benefit.Proposed reformulation:“The system must ensure real-time or near-real-time image reconstruction without workflow delays, supporting advanced reconstruction algorithms, parallel imaging, and AI-based processing to ensure efficient clinical operation.”Procurement Principles ConsiderationWe respectfully submit that aligning technical specifications with functional clinical outcomes rather than fixed hardware metrics supports the principles of fair competition, technical neutrality, and value-for-money procurement.Allowing functionally equivalent solutions ensures broader manufacturer participation, encourages competitive pricing, and maintains high clinical standards, while safeguarding the interests of the beneficiary institution.Clarification RequestedWe kindly request confirmation whether the above proposed clarifications for Items Item 1.3.8, 1.6.5, 1.7.1.5, and 1.8.5 would be considered acceptable, ensuring full diagnostic capability while supporting fair, open, and competitive procurement. /Dear Bidder,Thank you for your interest in the tender. Please find below the clarifications on your questions.1. Clause 1.3.8 is changed to Magnet homogeneity must be 3.3 ppm V-RMS or less, in a volume of 50x50x45cm or in a sphere with  45 cm diameter.2. Clause 1.6.5 is changed to  The system's table longitudinal movement must be at least 150 cm  or greater.3. Clause 1.7.1.5 Yes, the combination will meet the requeriment, as expressed in the point 1.7.1, the system must include coils or coil solutions that allow for the anatomies/studies; coils to be connected simultaneously are valid. For better undertandig the requeriment change to: 1 (one) coil or coil solution for Extremity studies with 12 or more elements. The system may utilize a single coil or a combination of coils operating simultaneously.4. Clause 1.8.5 is changed to: Image reconstruction speed. The system must ensure real-time or near-real-time image reconstruction without workflow delays, supporting advanced reconstruction algorithms. Thank you.Procurement team. 

New clarification added: Dear Sir/Madam,Our company would like to take part in your tender RFQ/2026/61600Having carefully studied the requirements for Magnetic Resonance (MR) system a significant overestimation of parameters that do not have a significant impact on the quality of diagnostics, for example the following items: Item 1.6.5 The system's scan range must be 200 cm or greater.We ask you to clarify the meaning of this parameter, as we assume that the 200 cm parameter was specified incorrectly, given the fact that there is no practical need to scan 200 cm.It would be correct to specify the horizontal movement of the table and add the parameter for the length of the scanning zone, which for most manufacturers is 150-160 cm. Item 1.7.1.3 1 (one) coil for Wrist studies with 8 or more elements.We ask that you reduce the number of elements to 4, removing the requirement for more than 8. The wrist studies is small in size, and the requirement for the number of elements to 8 is too high to limit the number of participants. Item  1.7.1.5 1 (one) coil for Extremity studies with 12 or more elements.We have one coil for extremity with 8 elements and another coil with 4 elements. The system allows these coils to be connected simultaneously. We would like to ask if this combination will meet the requirements of this section? Item 1.8.5 Image reconstruction speed: no less than 50,000 reconstructions/sec.We ask you to remove this item. We believe that this parameter is significantly overstated in order to limit the number of participants, since it does not affect the quality of images and has conditional significance since the examination time of one patient significantly exceeds the reconstruction time and does not allow for analysis before the end of the study./Dear Bidder,Thank you for your interest in the tender. Please find below the clarifications on your questions.1. Clause 1.6.5  is changed to: The system's table longitudinal movement must be at least 150 cm or greater.2. Clause 1.7.1.3 is changed to: 1 (one) coil for Wrist studies with 4 or more elements.3. Clause 1.7.1.5 Yes, the combination will meet the requeriment, as expressed in the point 1.7.1, the system must include coils or coil solutions that allow for the anatomies/studies; coils to be connected simultaneously are valid. For better undertandig the requeriment change to:  (one) coil or coil solution for Extremity studies with 12 or more elements. The system may utilize a single coil or a combination of coils operating simultaneously.4. Cluase 1.8.5 is chamged to:  Image reconstruction speed. The system must ensure real-time or near-real-time image reconstruction without workflow delays, supporting advanced reconstruction algorithms. Thank you.Procurement team.

New clarification added: Part 3 of the request - Canon Medical distributor Inmed UkraineClause 1.8.3Current requirement:“SSD hard drive for image storage, with a capacity of at least 1 TB.”The difference between 1 TB and 960 GB reflects standard manufacturer capacity rounding (decimal vs binary measurement) rather than a meaningful clinical limitation. A 960 GB SSD provides practically equivalent storage capacity for MRI image data and does not affect system performance, workflow or archiving capabilities.To ensure equal participation opportunities while maintaining diagnostic quality, we respectfully request that the requirement be revised as follows:Proposed revision:“SSD hard drive for image storage, with a capacity of at least 960 GB.”This change will not degrade the system's clinical and technical capabilities, but will significantly expand the range of potential participants in the tender.Clause 1.10.1.42 Current requirement:“DIXON technique: Two-point gradient echo for use with extended FOV, allowing submillimeter resolution.”The combination of extended FOV and mandatory submillimeter resolution reflects a highly specific technical configuration that may correspond to particular vendor implementations rather than a universal clinical requirement. The essential objective is reliable fat–water separation across the usable field of view. Specifying full FOV coverage preserves the clinical purpose while avoiding unnecessary restriction of competition.To ensure equal participation opportunities while maintaining diagnostic quality, we respectfully request that the requirement be revised as follows:Proposed revision:“DIXON technique: Two-point gradient echo for use with full FOV”Clause 1.11.3.10Current requirement:“Black Blood type sequences for use in T1 contrast, which use a special saturation pulse type MSDE (Motion-Sensitized Driven-Equilibrium), for use (for example) in the diagnosis of vasculitis/culin vessels/etc.”The current wording specifies MSDE (Motion-Sensitized Driven-Equilibrium), which is a proprietary implementation associated with a particular manufacturer, notably Philips Healthineers. While MSDE is an established technique, other manufacturers provide alternative black-blood preparation methods (e.g., DANTE preparation, double inversion recovery, variable flip angle techniques, flow-suppression modules) that achieve comparable or, in some cases, superior vessel wall visualization and flow suppression. By mandating a specific pulse preparation method (MSDE), the requirement may unintentionally restrict competition by describing a vendor-specific technical implementation rather than the required clinical outcome.To ensure equal participation opportunities while maintaining diagnostic quality, we respectfully request that the requirement be revised as follows:Proposed revision:“Black Blood type sequences with T1 contrast.”Clause 1.11.4.15Current requirement:“Dynamic (4D) Free-Breathing Acquisition Sequence”The current wording specifies a “4D” dynamic free-breathing acquisition sequence, which may correspond to a particular proprietary implementation rather than a universally defined technical standard. Several manufacturers provide high-quality free-breathing dynamic imaging solutions; however, not all describe or market them explicitly as “4D” sequences. The inclusion of “4D” as a mandatory specification may unintentionally restrict participation by favoring specific vendor terminology rather than defining the required clinical functionality.To ensure equal participation opportunities while maintaining diagnostic quality, we respectfully request that the requirement be revised as follows:Proposed revision:“Free-Breathing Acquisition Sequence”Clause 1.11.4.17Current requirement:“Two-point Dixon gradient echo (GRE) technique, allowing use in extended FOV (at least 50 cm), and considering multiple fat peaks (at least 6)”The specification of “considering multiple fat peaks (at least 6)” reflects a particular vendor’s implementation of Dixon-based fat–water separation and do not represent a universally defined industry standard. Different manufacturers employ various modeling approaches for fat spectral complexity, including multi-peak fat modeling with differing numbers of peaks, advanced phase correction algorithms and robust field inhomogeneity compensation.While multi-peak fat modeling is a valuable technical approach, mandating a specific number of fat peaks may unintentionally restrict competition by referencing a proprietary implementation rather than defining required imaging performance.The core clinical objective should be robust and uniform fat suppression over an extended field of view (≥50 cm), suitable for body and whole-body imaging.To ensure equal participation opportunities while maintaining diagnostic quality, we respectfully request that the requirement be revised as follows:Proposed revision:“Two-point Dixon gradient echo (GRE) technique, allowing use in extended FOV (at least 50 cm)”Clause 1.11.5.3   Current requirement:“4D (dynamic) angiographic acquisition that does not require the use of contrast media”4D non-contrast angiography represents an advanced, vendor-specific implementation rather than a universally standardized clinical feature. Core vascular imaging can be adequately performed using established non-contrast techniques such as TOF and phase-contrast MRA. Removing this requirement prevents unintended restriction of competition without reducing essential diagnostic capability.Proposal:Delete this requirement.Clause 1.11.5.14Current requirement:“Synchronization using VCG (vectorcardiogram)”Look at comments for subclause 1.4.2 of Clause 1.4 “Accessories required for quotation by bidders and included with every supplied unit”.Proposed revision:“Synchronization using VCG (vectorcardiogram) or ECG (electrocardiography)”ConclusionThe above proposed amendments are intended solely to ensure fair competition and alignment with standard industry specification formats. Importantly, none of the requested modifications reduce the diagnostic quality, safety, or clinical capabilities of the MRI system./Dear Bidder,Thank you for the interest in the tender.

New clarification added: Part 2 of the request - Canon Medical distributor Inmed Ukraine  Clause 1.7.1.3Current requirement:“One (1) coil for wrist studies with 8 or more elements.”Canon Medical provide high-performance wrist coils with 6 independent channels/elements rather than 8. A 6-channel dedicated wrist coil remains fully sufficient for high-resolution musculoskeletal imaging and routine clinical applications.To ensure equal participation opportunities while maintaining diagnostic quality, we respectfully request that the requirement be revised as follows:Proposed revision:“One (1) coil for wrist studies with 6 or more elements.”This adjustment maintains clinical adequacy for wrist examinations and does not compromise diagnostic capability. Subclause 1.4.2 of Clause 1.4 “Gradient system”Current requirement:“Gradient system: 30 mT/m or higher (x, y, and z axes); minimum slew rate of 100 T/m/s. Alternatively, a slew rate of at least 78 T/m/s will be accepted, provided the gradient amplitude is at least 45 mT/m or higher (x, y, and z axes).”After careful technical review, we believe these thresholds are insufficient to ensure optimal clinical performance, particularly for cardiology (clauses 1.10.1.35 - 1.10.1.39 and 1.11.5.x), oncology (1.11.3.2-1.11.3.3 and 1.11.4.x) and pediatric (1.11.6.x) imaging applications, which will be the substantial part of the scan which are planned to be performed on this machine. According to hardware recommendations published by Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (link to articles: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8886348/), the minimum gradient performance for cardiac MRI is:·         Gradient amplitude > 33 mT/m·         Slew rate > 120 T/m/sOptimal performance is defined as:·         Gradient amplitude ≥ 40 mT/m·         Slew rate ≥ 200 T/m/sProposed revision:“Gradient system: 35 mT/m or higher (x, y, and z axes); minimum slew rate of 150 T/m/s (x, y, and z axes)” or at least:“Gradient system: 33 mT/m or higher (x, y, and z axes); minimum slew rate of 120 T/m/s (x, y, and z axes)”Technical justification:1.  Cardiac ImagingCardiac MRI requires high temporal resolution, short TR/TE for SSFP cine imaging, reliable perfusion imaging and accurate phase-contrast flow measurements. Recognized minimum CMR hardware recommendations specify gradient amplitudes >33 mT/m and slew rates >120 T/m/s, with optimal systems reaching ≥40 mT/m and ≥200 T/m/s. These parameters are necessary to support core CMR sequences including:·         Localizer·         Cine imaging·         Perfusion (including stress studies)·         Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE)Optimal configurations further enable:·         T1 and T2 mapping·         Velocity-encoded cine (phase-contrast flow imaging)A slew rate of 100 T/m/s significantly limits achievable temporal resolution and increases susceptibility to banding artifacts and motion sensitivity. Modern cardiac protocols benefit from slew rates ≥150 T/m/s to maintain short TR and stable imaging, especially under stress conditions and in pediatric patients with high heart rates.2.  Oncologic ImagingOncology protocols rely heavily on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), including high b-value acquisitions. Low slew rate results in longer echo spacing and increased geometric distortion in EPI sequences, particularly in abdominal and pelvic imaging. Increasing the minimum slew rate to at least 120–150 T/m/s improves echo spacing, reduces distortion, and enhances lesion conspicuity. Adequate gradient amplitude (>33–35 mT/m) also supports shorter TE and improved signal-to-noise ratio, which are critical for accurate lesion detection, staging, and treatment monitoring.3.  Pediatric ImagingPediatric examinations present additional challenges due to higher heart rates, smaller anatomical structures and motion sensitivity. Faster gradient switching enables shorter acquisition windows, improved temporal resolution and reduced motion artifacts. A higher slew rate directly contributes to more robust pediatric cardiac and body imaging while maintaining patient comfort and reducing examination time.4.  Clinical Longevity and Future-ProofingMRI systems are long-term capital investments typically expected to serve for 8–12 years or more. Setting gradient specifications at minimal historical thresholds (30 mT/m and 100 T/m/s) risks limiting:·         Quantitative T1 and T2 mapping·         Velocity-encoded cine imaging·         DWI and whole-body DWI·         Advanced cardiac perfusion·         Emerging cardiac and oncologic techniquesThe proposed specifications (≥35 mT/m and ≥150 T/m/s, or at minimum ≥33 mT/m and ≥120 T/m/s) align with established CMR minimum hardware recommendations and represent a balanced, widely achievable standard in contemporary clinical systems. Importantly, these values remain moderate, do not favor any single manufacturer, and ensure adequate performance headroom for modern cardiology, oncology, and pediatric workflows.Subclause 1.4.2 of Clause 1.4 “Accessories required for quotation by bidders and included with every supplied unit”Current requirement:“VCG (Vectorcardiogram) cardiac synchronization sensor and monitor.”Canon Medical MRI-systems utilize advanced ECG-based cardiac gating solutions that deliver reliable and clinically validated synchronization for cardiac MRI examinations.To ensure equal participation opportunities while maintaining diagnostic quality, we respectfully request that the requirement be revised as follows:Proposed revision:“VCG (Vectorcardiogram) or ECG (electrocardiography) cardiac synchronization sensor and monitor.”This change maintains clinical functionality while preventing unnecessary exclusion of compliant systems./Dear Bidder,Thank you for the interest in the tender.

New clarification added: Part 1 of the request - Canon Medical distributor Inmed UkraineWe are writing on behalf of the official distributor of Canon Medical Systems Corporation (Japan) in Ukraine.Following a detailed review of the published technical specifications, we have concluded that several parameters appear to correspond closely to specific configurations of certain manufacturers, including Philips Healthineers (model Ingenia Ambition S) and potentially Siemens Healthineers (model Magnetom Flow.Ace).Canon Medical Systems Corporation is interested in participating in this tender; however, in its current form, the technical requirements contains clauses that may restrict fair competition by reflecting vendor-specific technical implementations.In addition, we note that certain core system parameters, particularly those related to the gradient system, are defined at relatively low technical thresholds. The currently specified gradient amplitude and slew rate represent minimal performance levels on today’s market and may limit the system’s capability for advanced cardiology, oncology, and pediatric imaging applications.The amendments proposed in our accompanying document are not discriminatory toward any manufacturer. On the contrary, they are designed to:·         Ensure fair and open competition,·         Align the technical requirements with contemporary clinical standards,·         Improve long-term clinical value and system sustainability,·         Broaden the pool of eligible participants. 1.     Clarification of the requirement’s meaning Clause 1.10.1.20 Current requirement:“Accelerated acquisition system using intelligent algorithms to achieve acquisition time improvements.”The wording of this requirement is currently broad and does not specify which particular MRI technologies or program options are expected to comply. To ensure accurate compliance assessment and to avoid ambiguity during bid evaluation, we kindly request clarification regarding which specific MRI acceleration techniques are intended under this clause. 2.     Requests to change the requirements General request to “Section II: Schedule of requirements”Where specific sequence names, pulse preparation methods, reconstruction algorithms or technical implementations are referenced within the technical requirements, these shall be interpreted as indicative examples of clinical functionality rather than mandatory proprietary solutions. Equivalent technologies, regardless of manufacturer-specific naming or implementation, shall be considered acceptable provided they achieve the same intended clinical purpose, diagnostic performance and image quality. The evaluation should focus on functional and clinical outcomes rather than vendor-specific terminology or patented methodologies, in order to ensure fair competition and compliance with public procurement principles. Clause 1.3.6Current requirement:“Internal diameter (bore) of the magnet: minimum 60 cm.”Proposed revision:“Internal diameter (bore) of the magnet: minimum 70 cm.”Technical Justification:As this MRI system will be performing a lot of pediatric imaging, bore diameter has particular importance not only for patient size accommodation, but also for safety, workflow and anesthesia management.1.      Anesthesia and Monitoring RequirementsA significant proportion of pediatric MRI examinations require sedation or general anesthesia. A 70 cm bore provides improved access for anesthesiology staff, safer routing of ventilation circuits and monitoring cables, and more working space for emergency intervention if required. This is a critical safety consideration in pediatric practice.2.      Parental Presence and Patient ComfortIn pediatric imaging, parental proximity is often necessary to reduce anxiety and motion in non-sedated children. A wider bore improves the child’s perception of space, reduces claustrophobic reactions, and facilitates smoother exam preparation. Reduced anxiety directly improves image quality by minimizing motion artifacts.3.      Adolescent and Bariatric Pediatric PatientsA pediatric center does not exclusively serve small children. Adolescent patients, including those with obesity, may present adult body habitus. A 60 cm bore can become restrictive in such cases, limiting positioning flexibility and potentially requiring referral. A 70 cm bore ensures inclusivity across the full pediatric age range.4.      Positioning Flexibility for Specialized Pediatric StudiesPediatric imaging frequently requires non-standard positioning and dedicated immobilization devices. A wider bore facilitates correct positioning while maintaining coil geometry and image quality.5.      Emergency Access and SafetyIn sedated or critically ill pediatric patients, rapid access to the patient is essential. A 70 cm bore provides improved ergonomic conditions for urgent intervention compared to a 60 cm configuration.6.      Long-Term Institutional PlanningMRI systems represent long-term capital investments. Specifying a 70 cm bore aligns the system with contemporary pediatric tertiary-center standards and ensures suitability for evolving clinical demands over the next decade. Clause 1.3.8Current requirement:“Magnet homogeneity must be 3.3 ppm V-RMS or less, in a volume of 50 × 50 × 45 cm.”Canon Medical do not specify magnet homogeneity using a volume of 50 × 50 × 45 cm. As a result, direct compliance reporting in the requested format may not be available, despite equivalent or superior magnet performance. For example, our systems homogeneity specified, as 1.61 ppm V-RMS or less within a sphere with 50 cm diameter, represents a clinically robust and widely accepted standard.To ensure equal participation opportunities while maintaining diagnostic quality, we respectfully request that the requirement be revised as follows:Proposed revision:“Magnet homogeneity must be 3.3 ppm V-RMS or less, in a volume of 50 × 50 × 45 cm or in a sphere with 50 cm diameter.”This modification does not reduce performance expectations and reflects common international specification practices./Dear Bidder,Thank you for the interest in the tender. Please find below the clarifications on your questions.Clause 1.10.1.20 is removed from technical requiements.Clause 1.3.6, change to: 1.3.6. Internal diameter (bore) of the magnet: minimum 60 70 cm.Clause 1.3.8, change to: 1.3.8: Magnet homogeneity must be 3.3 ppm V-RMS or less, in a volume of 50x50x45cm or in a sphere with 50 cm diameter.The revised documents will be uploaded accordingly.Thank you.Procurement Team.
