National Ventilator Project – Call For Proposals

In an effort to meet the anticipated demand for critical medical equipment such as ventilators, the DTIC is inviting companies and experts to submit their proposals in respect of the design, development, production and procurement of ventilators in South Africa.

The CFP is for a non-invasive pre-intubation ventilator solution that a clinical team has determined to be applicable to the treatment of the majority of hospitalized cases that could be developed on a short timescale.

It is important to note that the entire submission shall be electronic – this can take the format of a zip file with a clear inventory excel file indicating the submission structure. The spreadsheet provided with the CFP shall also be completed and submitted electronically.

Partial Proposals will be accepted (i.e. companies interested in providing a subset of components required by the ventilator system can respond). In this event complete the relevant sections of the CFP as far as possible.

For partial proposals refer to the reference design as provided in Figure 3 of the Requirement Specification.

An evaluation of the submitted proposals will be done on Tuesday the 7th after which entities that have submitted the most promising solutions will be requested to present their solutions to the evaluation panel on Wednesday the 8th of April.
