The primary objective is to procure a single, fully compliant birthing bed to support maternal care during labour, delivery, and postpartum recovery. The acquisition aims to enhance patient comfort, facilitate clinical access for healthcare providers, and enable precise positional adjustments through integrated electronic and mechanical systems.
The procurement covers the once-off supply and delivery of one birthing bed to St Marys District Hospital in Marianhill. The contract encompasses product delivery, warranty coverage, and strict adherence to the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health’s supply chain management protocols. Quotations must be hand-delivered by the specified closing date and time, with all pricing remaining valid for a period of 90 days.
As this is a goods-only procurement, no specialized technical or professional skills are mandated for the bidder. Suppliers must, however, demonstrate operational capability to meet public sector supply chain compliance standards, including active Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration, valid B-BBEE documentation, SARS tax clearance, and CIPC company registration. Successful bidders must be equipped to fulfill delivery timelines and honor warranty obligations without requiring additional installation, commissioning, or training services.
SAHPRA Certificate: A mandatory regulatory approval issued by the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority, confirming that the medical device meets national safety, efficacy, and quality standards for clinical use.
SABS Approval: Certification from the South African Bureau of Standards, verifying that the product conforms to rigorous national specifications for durability, patient safety, and manufacturing quality.
80/20 Preference Point System: An evaluation framework allocating 80 points to competitive pricing and 20 points to socio-economic goals. Full preference points are awarded exclusively to verified South African-owned enterprises based on submitted ownership certificates.
Multi-Stage Evaluation Process: Quotations undergo four sequential assessment stages: administrative compliance, mandatory certification verification, technical specification adherence, and price/preference scoring. Failure to meet requirements at any stage results in immediate disqualification.
Warranty & Performance Security: A minimum 12-month warranty applies from the date of delivery and acceptance. The successful bidder may be required to furnish performance security within 30 days of contract award to guarantee fulfillment.
Hand Delivery Mandate: Due to documented network reliability issues, all quotations must be physically deposited in the designated tender box before the closing deadline; electronic submissions will not be accepted.

Most large tenders are composed of tasks in a number of different fields, and it is not always possible for a single company to cater for all of them, and therefore Joint Ventures and Consortia are formed to then submit a tender together.
Government tenders are also requiring the subcontracting of a percentage of the tender work, and the trouble is then finding Subcontractors to comply with the tender requirements
To assist companies with finding tender partners and subcontractors, you can now submit your contact details and company information on this page, so other interested parties can contact you for purposes of forming Joint Ventures and subcontracting
