In February this year, a surgical light suddenly fell from the ceiling in the operating room of United Hospital. The HA indicated at the time that it was very dissatisfied with the performance of the contractor, Getinge, and pointed out that it would depend on the contractor's past performance before deciding whether to win the tender. However, the reporter of "Hong Kong 2" found earlier that Getinge won at least three HA contracts in the following six months, involving an amount of more than 01 million yuan, including being responsible for supplying and installing ceiling brackets for hospitals.

Winning the bid after scoring: I think it's not a good idea

HA Chairman Fan Hung-ling pointed out that Getinge still won the bid three times after the fact because HA has an established bid examination system with different items for scoring, and Getinge won the bid after scoring. But he confessed: "I feel that it is not good, but it can be regarded as if nothing happened." Fan Hongling also pointed out that the HA had decided not to accept bids from the contractor until the claim for the surgical lamp case was resolved.

The Chief Executive Officer of HA, Mr Ko Ba Sun, also reiterated his dissatisfaction with the performance of the contractor involved in the case and initiated legal proceedings to recover due to its deficiencies in maintenance and repair. He also said that it was not convenient to mention the contents of individual tenders, but after the incident, HA set up a review committee, and various parties provided a lot of opinions on the incident, and the Bureau is also following up.

He also pointed out that past performance, service quality and major accidents would also be considered when evaluating bids, and there was also a suspension clause in the contract, emphasizing that if the contractor did not play well and made any mistakes, it would definitely be held accountable.
