THE health ministry has invited bidders for the supply of delivery (Maama) kits.
The tender is funded by a loan from the African Development Fund, the African Development Bank’s lending arm.
It is under the Support to the Health Sector Strategic Plan Project (SHSSPP).
The kit contains latex gloves, sanitary pads, cotton wool, white cotton cords, razor blades and plastic sheets, all under one lot, according to the procurement website.
A notice from the ministry’s permanent secretary, Mary Nannono, said bidding documents cost sh50,000 and can be got from the project coordinator, SHSSPP Project Management Unit at Old Mulago Hospital.
Completed documents must be submitted by April 18 with a bid security of sh15m.
There has been a shortage of delivery kits countrywide with many expectant mothers finding it too expensive to buy them privately at delivery time and consequently failing to go to approved maternity clinics.
