Equipment ownership
The client owns the RETICE-RENAL infrastructure (Smart Local Cloud, network, ZEP-X terminals, CeRSER kits) from installation and acceptance. These assets appear in its asset register.
Home / Our Offerings / Acquisition Model
The client owns the equipment from the moment of installation. It assumes the costs of purchase, maintenance and renewal. RETICEO can assist in mobilising financing via an EPC + Financing contract.
Regardless of the economic model chosen (Acquisition, PPP, BOO or Hybrid), the rules below apply to all educational resources and documentation.
The Acquisition model is the direct purchase model in which the client — ministry or private institution — immediately becomes the owner of all RETICE-RENAL equipment installed on its premises.
In return, the client fully assumes the financial and operational responsibilities associated with these assets throughout their lifecycle: acquisition cost, maintenance, renewal. This model suits clients who already have mobilised financing or who wish to build their own long-term operational capacity.
In the Acquisition model, the client assumes all costs and responsibilities related to the equipment throughout its lifecycle.
The client owns the RETICE-RENAL infrastructure (Smart Local Cloud, network, ZEP-X terminals, CeRSER kits) from installation and acceptance. These assets appear in its asset register.
The client pays the full invoice for equipment (hardware, software, licences) and associated services (installation, integration, deployment, initial training).
Technical support costs, preventive and corrective maintenance, and equipment renewal at end-of-cycle are the client's responsibility. RETICEO offers optional SMT contracts.
The Acquisition model adapts to two client profiles with distinct financing sources.
RETICEO can assist clients in mobilising financing via its partner network, by offering a turnkey EPC + Financing contract.
For clients who have not yet mobilised financing, RETICEO offers an EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) + Financing contract. Under this arrangement, RETICEO handles design, procurement and construction of the infrastructure while facilitating access to financing through its network of financial partners and lenders. The client retains ownership of the equipment at the end of the contract.
This structure enables accelerated deployment without waiting for the full budget to be available, while keeping asset ownership with the client.
RETICEO offers four complementary models depending on the client profile, financial capacity and desired operational autonomy.
