To conduct the landscape assessment of the Biopharmaceutical Industry in South Africa

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) SAVax project on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the European Union, together with the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI) and National Department of Health (DoH), launches a tender to conduct a landscape assessment of the Biopharmaceutical Industry in South Africa.

The SAVax - "Vaccines for Africa - Rollout and Production in South Africa (SAVax)" project aims to provide improved access to high-quality vaccines for all people living in South Africa. It has two components: supporting vaccine roll-out and boosting local vaccine production in South Africa for the African continent. Specifically, the project aims to enhance the enabling environment for local pharmaceutical and health technology production through research, development, and skills training, to strengthen the regulatory framework, and to support the demand and supply of locally produced health goods. This initiative is part of the Team Europe Initiative on Manufacturing and Access to Vaccines, Medicines and Health Technologies in Africa (TEI MAV+).

SAVax seeks a contractor to conduct a landscape assessment of South Africa's biopharmaceutical industry. South African companies face challenges in market intelligence, demand forecasting, high production costs, and complex technology transfers. These obstacles hinder their ability to establish local manufacturing capacities for vaccines, medicines, and health technologies. The assessment will identify companies with "ready-for-market" products that could potentially benefit from targeted technical assistance to enhance their manufacturing capacity and better meet market opportunities at national, regional, and continental levels.

GIZ invites eligible and professional companies with local presence in South Africa, to participate in this tender.
