Modernization at KOC-Burgas: New X-ray tube to be provided for the PET/CT scanner

The Municipal Council in Burgas has given its official consent for the Complex Oncological Center (KOC) in the city to purchase a new X-ray tube for its PET/CT scanner. The decision was made during the 38th session of the local parliament.

Currently, the operational lifespan of the old tube has reached nearly 720,000 units, which necessitates a preventive replacement. The main objectives of the investment are:

Financial details: The new acquisition will be funded entirely with the oncological center's own resources. A public procurement procedure is planned, with the value of the asset set at up to 77,500 euros excluding VAT.
