Georgia begins planning 2027 medical-consumables procurement

Verified facts

• The State Procurement Agency stated on 9 September 2026 that it was aggregating information on planned 2027 purchases of medical consumables under CPV 33100000 for consolidated tenders, citing Government Decree No. 237 of 29 May 2026.
• The Agency’s public information for consolidated tenders also reports that registration/legal documentation is required in tenders with an estimated value of GEL 500,000 or more under the 2026 centralised-procurement rules. A threshold notice does not identify product requirements, eligibility for an individual package, a bidder or an award.
• A separate 2026 consolidated-tender page for non-sterile gauze and shoe covers identifies a particular tender and winner. That historical category-specific record cannot be treated as a current tender for other consumables or devices, nor as proof of a reusable supplier qualification.
• WHO’s analysis of Georgia’s mixed health system reports important private-provider ownership alongside gaps in purchasing governance and investment planning. It provides independent context for why the purchasing entity and route must be verified at product and facility level, not inferred from a national aggregation announcement.
• Georgia’s Health Care Law and product-safety framework establish a separate quality and safety context for medical technical devices. Procurement planning cannot resolve the product-specific compliance, import, language, servicing or clinical-use obligations of a defined offer.
