 A tender is a document that outlines the
requirements for a medical device, including
its intended use, performance specifications,
and desired features.

Development
of Tenders The tender must be developed in
consultation with healthcare professionals
and administrators and must be based on
the latest medical knowledge and best
practices.
 Once a tender has been developed, it is
used to solicit bids from medical device
manufacturers.
Soliciting Bids
from
Manufacturers The bids must include detailed information
about the medical device, including its
technical specifications, performance
characteristics, and pricing.
 The evaluation of bids involves a thorough
review of the bids to ensure that they meet
the requirements outlined in the tender.

Evaluation of
Bids The evaluation must be conducted by a team
of experts, including healthcare
professionals, administrators, and engineers,
and it must be based on objective criteria,
such as price, quality, and performance.
 Once the evaluation is complete, the
winning bid is selected, and a contract is
signed between the administrator and
the manufacturer.
Contract
Signing The contract must include detailed
specifications for the medical device,
including its intended use, performance
characteristics, and required features.
 The final step in the selection and
procurement process is the delivery and
implementation of the medical device.

Delivery and
Implementation This involves the installation of the medical
device, training of healthcare professionals
and administrators on its use, and ongoing
monitoring and maintenance to ensure its
continued performance.
Conclusion

• In conclusion, the selection and procurement of medical devices is a

complex and critical process that involves multiple stakeholders.
• The process must be based on the latest medical knowledge and
best practices, and it must ensure that medical devices are safe,
effective, and of high quality.
