Expressions of Interest for potential prosthetics market access partnership(s) for low- and middle-income countries

UNOPS ATscale seeks to establish partnership(s) to increase the affordable provision of quality components, materials and socket technology for serving lower-limb amputees – transfemoral and transtibial – in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). The core objectives of the partnership(s) are to: 

1. Increase the affordability of and access to the provision of quality prosthetic components, materials and socket technology in LMICs.

2. Increase the visibility of available prosthetic components, materials and socket technology, and pricing, to buyers in LMICs to support planning and budgeting processes.

Through this Expression of Interest (EOI), UNOPS ATscale intends to gather information from  vendors in the prosthetics sector that are motivated by the belief that people with lower limb absence should have access to the quality prosthetic care they need at an affordable price. 

The Products and Technologies offered through the partnership(s) will need to meet international quality standards. After the review of the submitted EOIs, potential partners meeting the EOI eligibility criteria will be invited to engage with ATscale further to discuss the potential for collaboration. Potential partners will be invited to submit a detailed proposal, including specific Products and Technologies and their pricing, and confirmation that the Products and Technologies included in the proposal meet the required quality standards.
