Tender for Medical Fluid Systems and Air Treatment Units in Guinea

The Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene of the Republic of Guinea is seeking international bids for the supply and installation of medical fluid production systems and air treatment units for CESFARH. Funded by the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), this procurement is part of the Post-Ebola Health Sector Support Project (PASSPE), according to an official procurement notice.

The project, identified as GIN 1005, aims to equip the CESFARH facility with a comprehensive system for the production and distribution of medical fluids. The contract includes the supply, installation, commissioning, and necessary training in a single lot, the Ministry stated.

What are the requirements for the medical fluid system?

The Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene requires a single-lot contract to handle the entire lifecycle of the equipment. This includes the initial supply and installation of the production and distribution systems for medical fluids, as well as the implementation of air treatment units. The contract also mandates training for personnel to ensure the systems are operational.

Eligible bidders must meet specific qualifications to execute the market. The procurement process follows the International Competitive Bidding (ICB) procedure, as defined by the IsDB Guidelines for the Procurement of Goods, Works, and Related Services, revised in February 2023.

Offers must include a bid guarantee of 15,450 Euros. This amount is payable in Euros or in Guinean Francs at the current BCRG exchange rate and must be submitted 15 days before the final deadline. Bids are to be delivered to the Coordination of the Post-Ebola Health Sector Support Project (PASSPE) in the Dixinn district of Conakry.

Expert Insight: Samantha Carter notes that integrating air treatment units with medical fluid distribution suggests a focus on high-standard clinical environments. By bundling these into a single lot, the Ministry likely aims to ensure technical compatibility between the ventilation and gas systems, reducing the risk of installation conflicts.

What happens next in the procurement process?

The Ministry will open the submitted bids on July 25, 2026, at 10:30 GMT in the presence of bidder representatives. This opening will take place at the PASSPE Coordination office located within the Pharmacie Centrale de Guinée (PCG) enclosure.

Following the opening, the project coordinators, including Dr. Robert Conde and procurement specialist Boubacar Soumah, may evaluate the bids based on the IsDB’s eligibility and conflict-of-interest rules. A successful bidder will then be tasked with the installation and commissioning of the medical systems.
