Faster reaction to public tenders can significantly increase the efficiency of the COVID-19 world response

DevelopmentAid is granting free access to the COVID-19 tender and grant notices that are available on its platform. This action is intended to accelerate the innovative coronavirus response efforts and increase their efficiency. Suppliers of medical equipment, consulting firms and NGOs, as well as humanitarian organizations, can access for free currently available open and forecasted health related tenders and grants using a single resource. 

The COVID-19 global pandemic has taken the lives of thousands so far and is likely to have a severe impact on the world economy. Major donor organizations have joined in their efforts to provide funds for an immediate response to the pandemic. This money, allocated through various financial mechanisms, is usually channeled through public procurement systems. This is the way in which medical equipment and services are selected and acquired by organizations working in the development sector.

“We all want to ensure there are enough masks, ventilators and other relevant equipment as well research and consulting services that are needed by health systems across the globe. We believe that those who work in public procurement will work faster if they can access all the tenders related to the health industry from a single platform. In this way, they will save all the time that is normally spent on research and paperwork”, stated Sergiu Casu, the director of Business Development. 

Over 330 tender announcements and grant notices are gathered and published daily by  Developmentaid. The organization monitors 750+ funding sources and provides all the necessary document packages for the bidding process.
