Overview SA Health is establishing an Operating Theatre Consumables Panel to ensure the ongoing supply of operating theatre consumables required across all Local Health Networks (LHN) and the whole of SA Health. The current panel agreement is due to expire, and a new panel is required to replace it. About The Medical Consumables Sourcing team in the Procurement, Supply Chain and Materials Management (PSCM) division within the Department for Health and Wellbeing (DHW) is responsible for sourcing and managing the panel agreements that contain medical consumables required across multiple LHNs within SA Health. PSCM has developed contract tiers for operating theatre consumables that are part of the SA Health catalogue, allowing competing brands for the same product to be identified, and has developed product specifications, resulting in a list of products and product specifications for inclusion in this Invitation to Supply (ITS). Scope The Operating Theatre Consumables Panel consists of seven product categories: Energy Devices and Smoke Evacuation: monopolar/bipolar accessories, suction/coagulation, return electrodes, smoke evacuation Single-use Surgical Instruments and Consumables: single-use surgical instruments, laparoscopic trocars and cannulas, insufflation devices Skin Preparation, Hand Hygiene and Surgical Gloves: scrub brushes and sponges, surgical hand scrub, skin preparation, surgical gloves Haemostatic Agents and Sealants: mechanical haemostats, active haemostats, sealants, adhesives Drainage Consumables: wound drainage, chest drainage Non-Sterile Operating Theatre Consumables: surgical slippers, suction manifolds, absorbent floormats, positioning devices, surgical clean-up, OT printing accessories Sterilisation Consumables: instrument cleaning agents/detergents, sterilisation packaging consumables, biological indicator tests, batch tracking consumables, process indicators and tests, sterilisation containers The Product Specification Checklist (Attachment Part D Product and Price Checklist) lists the products under the above categories currently used across SA Health that are in scope of the new Panel Agreement. Secondary procurements will invite panel members to submit offers for categories. Enquiries Contact: Andrew Bevan Office: +61 (08) 82355739 Email: Andrew.bevan@sa.gov.au
A strong tender response is clear, compliant, and backed by evidence. These steps apply to most Australian and New Zealand public tenders.
Open the official listing and download the full tender pack. Note the response schedules, evaluation criteria, mandatory conditions, and the exact closing time and lodgement method.
Check licences, insurances, certifications, and any conformance requirements before you commit. A quick bid or no-bid decision saves days of wasted effort on a tender you cannot win.
Respond to each evaluation criterion directly and back your claims with concrete examples, referees, and past performance. Address the buyer’s stated need, not a generic capability statement.
Submit through the source portal well before the deadline. Late or incorrectly lodged bids are almost always rejected, so leave time for uploads, portal errors, and last-minute questions.
