1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As a Small Island Developing State (SIDS), the Maldives faces many unique challenges. The
development needs of SIDS, as articulated by the Sustainable Development Goals, will require massive
investment in infrastructure networks for the Island. Over 3.04 Metric tons(1) per capita of CO2
emissions have stemmed from burning of fossil fuels. This is expected to grow which will result in more
emissions. UNOPS is committed to supporting several visions, helping SIDS Islands like Maldives fight
challenges brought on by climate change and to ensure Maldives reach their development goals.
“Building health system resilience in an uncertain world”(2) is one of the several visions supported by
UNOPS, with a core mandate for sustainable infrastructure. Despite strong incentives to shore up
health system resilience, significant challenges remain stubborn barriers to resilience.

Currently Maldives, like many other Island nations, face challenges in delivering essential medical
supplies, particularly in remote areas or during emergencies. Some islands may have limited docking
facilities for Seaplanes (or boats) making it inefficient to transport medical supplies which represents
an ultimate example of mismatch, where the stuff being carried equates to less than 0.1 percent of the
mass of the vehicles and little to no expensive medical storage facility in Islands to store the supplies.
This lack of infrastructure hinders the community’s needs for urgent transportation of supplies. Even if
delivery services using modes such as Sea planes or high speed boats would be used, there is an
untapped potential to reduce the overall cost, emissions, efficient delivery and speed using drones
instead of the former two transportation modes. By using drones, not only will Maldives reduce the
use of fossil fuel sources, but it will have an overall positive impact on future modes of drone
transportation network to connect hundreds of islands in an efficient, faster and sustainable manner.

In this regard the Ministry of Health (MOH) under UNOPS is leading the establishment of a medical
delivery drone system starting with baseline services to facilitate delivery of urgent medical supplies
such as urgent drugs, blood bags for transfusion, urgent blood samples for laboratory analysis and
urgent medical equipment to remote islands from central locations. MOH under UNOPS has requested
for a proposal to assist in the development of such a system, which is envisaged to provide an
end-to-end digital and automated solution at nominated two-three locations. In this regard, Redwing
Consortium is pleased to submit its proposal in response to the tender. This document contains a
technical response to the Bid named “SUPPLY, DELIVERY AND INSTALLATION OF MEDICAL DELIVERY
DRONE SYSTEM FOR MINISTRY OF HEALTH, MALDIVES” under UNOPS (ITB/2023/46755).

Redwing is a leading Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) consortium covering products ranging from Multi
rotor to Fixed Wing drones, providing services in Drone delivery operations, Droneports, Pilot Training,
Technical procurements and Support services in the drone industry. Our members were involved in
close to a dozen drone procurements projects for clients all over the world. Redwing consortium in
subsequent requirements for Lot-01 and depending on the requirements of MOH on a need basis
under Item no-01 will establish an automated, cost-effective and time efficient medical drone delivery
service for Maldives. This is a turnkey service, which will commence upon approval by the Maldives
Civil Aviation Authority (MCAA) in compliance with local, civil and military regulations. The fixed cost of
the project is quoted separately; For Lot-01 the cost is 99,897 USD/-, and for Item no-01 the cost is
396,997 USD/- for 12 months of operations (Incl. in bid submission forms) which would be shared
between partners in the consortium accordingly (incl. VAT for both).
