CHAI invites interested and capable bidders, both manufacturers and suppliers, to submit a bid for “Selection of Manufacturer/Supplier for Supply of Competitively Priced Wheelchairs for CHAI Program Countries” as per the Terms of Reference and Scope of Work provided in this ITB, respectively.
CHAI is working at the intersection of the private and public sectors to implement innovative service delivery models so that children with disabilities aged 0-6 years can exercise their right to play, learn and thrive. Through the Build A World of Play program (June 2023 – May 2026) CHAI is 1) ensuring government programs routinely screen all children to identify disabilities early in life, 2) ensuring early provision of assistive technology like mobility, vision, and hearing aids, to enhance the well-being of children with disabilities; 3) developing caregiver support groups to provide information around caring for and advocating for children with disabilities. During the program, CHAI will be facilitating the procurement of wheelchairs to increase demand and access to assistive technology in LMICs and is seeking qualified manufacturers/suppliers for the same. Access to early identification and AT, and play will restore dignity and opportunities for children with disabilities, enabling them to play, learn and reach their potential. We envision a world where disabilities are fully integrated into early childhood development and disability-inclusive health systems – such as primary healthcare services – ensuring that all children with disabilities receive the care they need.
Pursuant to the above plan, CHAI plans to procure at least 335 wheelchairs for distribution in 2025 and subsequent procurement in 2026, subject to funding approval and budget availability. Bidders may refer to the Scope of Work (defined in this ITB).
