Indonesia - 13 October 2025,
In a major step toward modernizing Indonesia’s healthcare infrastructure, the Ministry of Health has awarded a contract valued at IDR 101.7 billion under the Indonesia Health Systems Strengthening Project (P180811). The contract, announced on October 13, 2025, covers the procurement of 1,919 electrocautery units, essential for enhancing surgical capabilities across healthcare facilities nationwide.
Contract Overview
The tender was conducted through a Request for Bids (RFB) process under the financing of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD Loan No. 96260). Following a competitive evaluation, the joint bid from ESA Medika Mandiri of Indonesia and Aspen Surgical Products of the United States emerged as the winning consortium. The contract will run for five years, supporting the government’s agenda to equip public hospitals with reliable and advanced medical technology.
ESA Medika Mandiri, based in Tangerang, Banten, is a well-established Indonesian medical equipment supplier with extensive experience in sourcing and servicing hospital devices. Partnering with Aspen Surgical Products, a U.S.-based manufacturer known globally for precision surgical instruments, the collaboration underscores a blend of local distribution strength and international manufacturing excellence.
The awarded contract aims to enhance the country’s capacity for surgical interventions by providing standardised electrocautery units to public health facilities. These devices are critical for performing safe and effective surgical procedures, minimising blood loss, and improving clinical outcomes. The investment aligns with Indonesia’s broader health systems reform effort, focusing on medical equipment modernisation, hospital readiness, and service quality improvement.
Several other bidders participated in the competitive procurement, including Rajawali Nusindo (Indonesia) and Micromed Medizintechnik (Germany), with evaluated bid prices of IDR 143.9 billion and higher. However, their bids were not selected due to higher evaluated costs. Other participants such as Indali Karya Medika, Surgika Alkesindo, Erbe Elektromedizin, Dempo Karya Utama, Kanaka Medika, and Esence Sarana Medika were deemed non-responsive or non-compliant during the evaluation stage.
Significance and Impact
The awarded tender supports the Indonesia Health Systems Strengthening Project’s objective of improving access to quality healthcare through infrastructure and equipment enhancement. By distributing nearly two thousand electrocautery units across the nation, the project will help standardise surgical care, particularly in underserved regions. It is expected to create positive ripple effects across Indonesia’s medical supply chain, including local maintenance, training, and after-sales support industries.Conclusion
With the signing of this IDR 101.7 billion contract, Indonesia takes another step toward reinforcing its health infrastructure and ensuring that hospitals nationwide are better equipped to deliver safe surgical care. The collaboration between ESA Medika Mandiri and Aspen Surgical Products sets a benchmark for future international partnerships in the country’s public health sector. The five-year implementation period is expected to bring measurable improvements in hospital performance and patient outcomes, marking a significant milestone in Indonesia’s healthcare modernisation journey.
