Request For Quotation, Supply and Delivery of Covid-19 Cloth masks

Procurement Reference Number:LCC/IPDC/169/02/21/CLTH MSKS

Date of Issue:   08^th FEBRUARY 2021

Malawi is experiencing widespread community transmission in this second wave of COVID- 19. All districts in Malawi currently have confirmed COVID-19 cases and the majority (90% ) of confirmed cases have no symptoms but are potentially infective to others. These individuals pose a huge risk as they are likely to continue to conduct their normal activities whilst unknowingly infecting others. A face mask will help reduce the spread of infection in the community by minimizing the shedding of respiratory droplets from infected persons who may not even know they are infected and before they become symptomatic.

The Malawi Government has budgeted funds for the procurement of masks and allocated these funds through the councils, hence request for quotations from interested eligible bidders to submit their quotes.

Lilongwe City Council now invites bids in sealed envelopes from eligible bidders for the Supply and Delivery of Cloth Masks
