Repair, Maintenance & Calibration of Medical Emergency Equipment

The City of Tshwane's Emergency Services Department has issued quotation Q50-2026-27 for the appointment of a service provider to carry out repairs, maintenance and calibration of medical emergency equipment on an as-and-when-required basis for a period not exceeding twelve (12) months. The contract covers three equipment categories: the DeVilbiss 7305P-I automated suction unit, the Mindray D6 Beneheart electrocardiogram (cardiac monitoring equipment), and the Heartsave 6 Primedic Automated External Defibrillator (AED). The service provider will be expected to inspect and check all parts of the equipment, repair or replace faulty components, adjust electrical connections, calibrate devices, and test and certify each unit. Routine 12-month service intervals for the suction units include battery checks and replacement, replacement of suction tubing, and calibration. The pricing schedule is itemised per device and covers call-out fees, strip-and-quote, hourly labour rates, calibration, repairs, and replacement of consumables and accessories such as batteries, cables, pads, tubing and carry bags. Suppliers must provide a checklist for each inspected automated suction unit. The City reserves the right to increase or decrease quantities subject to budget availability.

Evaluation proceeds in three stages. Stage 1 assesses administrative compliance, including a valid SARS tax compliance status PIN or CSD registration, CSD registration, municipal account statements (not in arrears beyond 90 days) for the company and its owners or directors, correctly completed and signed MBD forms (MBD 1, 4, 5, 8 and 9), audited financial statements for the last three years for bids above R10 million, and attendance at the compulsory briefing session. Incomplete pricing schedules, unauthorised corrections, or use of correction fluid result in disqualification. Stage 2 requires two reference letters, on client letterhead and dated no more than five years ago, for repair, maintenance and calibration of suction units and cardiac monitoring equipment. Stage 3 applies the 80/20 preference point system, allocating 80 points to price and 20 points to specific goals, including B-BBEE level, EME/QSE status, women, youth and disability ownership, and local economic participation (City of Tshwane, Gauteng, or national), all supported by proof.

This opportunity offers a recurring, as-needed revenue stream for suppliers with proven biomedical or medical equipment servicing capability, particularly those familiar with DeVilbiss, Mindray and Primedic products. Bids are valid for 90 days after closing. Submissions must be made through the City's e-tender portal by 10:00 on 12 November 2026, not deposited in the tender box.
