Sale on Manual & Electric Hospital Beds - Starting from 25 September!
Dobrich buyers are distributed across eight municipalities and a long coastline. MediGear partners cover that territory from one documented catalogue.
Dobrich Province pairs the most intensive grain farming in the country with a resort coastline running north to Shabla. Its eight municipalities purchase for both populations. Hospital procurement concentrates in the provincial centre, while the coastal municipalities specify separately and by season.
MediGear is a UK-registered medical equipment distributor and B2B marketplace working with verified manufacturers and healthcare buyers in more than 80 countries. The partner program places that catalogue behind businesses operating in Dobrich. Provincial buyers include the multiprofile hospital in Dobrich, municipal health facilities at Balchik, Kavarna, General Toshevo and Tervel, seasonal provision serving the Albena and Kranevo resorts, occupational health services attached to the agricultural sector, and private dental and laboratory practices.
Three program tracks are open to businesses in Dobrich. The business models differ; the catalogue behind them does not. The right one depends on how much of the transaction you want to own.
Agents introduce qualified hospitals, clinics, distributors and procurement teams to MediGear. The role focuses on generating opportunities and connecting buyers with the team; MediGear handles quotations, supply, documentation and fulfilment. Earnings are commission-based on confirmed sales; no purchasing or inventory is required, and sales materials and product support are provided. It suits consultants and independent representatives who know how the centralised electronic tender process is scored.
Distributors represent MediGear in an agreed country, region or territory and actively develop the local market: a single province, a pairing of neighbouring provinces, or national coverage of one product group. Products are purchased at distributor level for onward supply, and territorial rights may be exclusive or non-exclusive. Market development, commercial support, and regulatory and import coordination are included.
Resellers purchase at wholesale and resell independently through an existing medical business, online store, sales network or customer base. Order quantities are flexible, and you sell on your own terms to your own customers. Resellers operate independently without territorial or official distribution rights, so there is no territorial commitment and no market development obligation.
A Dobrich partner must be credible with two distinct purchasing patterns. One is agricultural and continuous. The other is coastal and compressed into a short season. Eligible applicants are companies entered in the Bulgarian commercial register with an established route to those buyers, and applications reach the partnerships team from:
Equipment distributors and importers already supplying public and private hospitals
Independent sales agents with contacts in theatre, imaging, pathology or dental
Online medical supply businesses and e-commerce operators
Biomedical engineering firms adding equipment sales to service contracts
Practice fit-out, day surgery and healthcare project companies
Dental, laboratory and veterinary equipment resellers
Proven category experience outweighs company size. An agency with previous laboratory or imaging installations in the province is assessed ahead of a considerably larger competitor without that record.

Municipality counts follow the national administrative division; Dobrich is one of the twenty-eight Bulgarian provinces. Partner coverage of the wider country is set out on the Bulgaria partner page.
Competitive margins. Partner-level commercial terms apply across the catalogue, with performance recognised for partners who hit agreed targets. Terms for Dobrich are confirmed in writing before the first order.
Full product catalogue. Certified equipment across diagnostics, surgical and therapeutic, lab and pathology, sterilisation, hospital furniture, dental, ENT and ophthalmic, rehabilitation, orthopaedic, cardiology, gastroenterology, neonatal, dermatology, veterinary and spare parts.
Sourcing and quotation support. Send an enquiry, and the team sources the product, negotiates with the manufacturer and returns a documented quotation, including items outside the current catalogue.
Direct partnerships team. Order queries, supplier negotiations, logistics coordination, and after-sales issues go straight to the MediGear team by email, so a partner in Dobrich stays focused on selling rather than chasing suppliers.
Marketing support. Co-branded brochures, digital assets, product imagery and joint campaigns you can put in front of buyers in Dobrich.
Regulatory support. Country-specific import guidance, certification documentation and connections to local regulatory consultants for market entry questions.
Health control across the province is handled by the Regional Health Inspectorate in Dobrich, one of the twenty-eight inspectorates operating under the Ministry of Health. Classification, conformity assessment and post-market duties for medical devices are set by Regulation (EU) 2017/745 across the whole European Union, and they apply before a supply arrangement is agreed. In Bulgaria, the competent authority is the Bulgarian Drug Agency, responsible for market surveillance, vigilance and national registration. Requirements are published by the Bulgarian Drug Agency.
Bulgaria has maintained national registration and notification obligations for traders in medical devices alongside the European requirements, and Bulgarian-language instructions are expected for devices supplied to users. The underlying structure is set out in the EU medical devices framework.
Consignments for Dobrich usually clear at Varna and travel north by road. Movements originating in Romania enter through the Durankulak crossing on the coastal route. Consignments arriving from outside the customs union are cleared by the Bulgarian Customs Agency under Union Customs Code procedures. MediGear does not act as economic operator of record for partner products, and does not give regulatory advice.

Agricultural and coastal buyers order from different parts of the catalogue.
Veterinary. One of the most intensive livestock and grain districts in the country
Diagnostic imaging. The provincial hospital and outpatient provision at Balchik and Kavarna
Emergency and resuscitation. Seasonal resort clinics at Albena and Kranevo
Laboratory. Agricultural and clinical analytical demand running together.
Hospital furniture. Municipal facilities at General Toshevo and Tervel
Veterinary volume is steadier here than the hospital tender calendar suggests. Businesses buying rather than selling can use the MediGear buyer route, and manufacturers seeking distribution should look at the supplier program.
Incomplete documentation ends more submissions in Dobrich than uncompetitive terms do. Evaluation opens with a formal examination, and clearing it without a clarification request establishes an immediate advantage.
Distance is the second consideration. Kavarna, Tervel and General Toshevo lie far enough apart that buyers value a supplier servicing the whole province rather than its accessible half.
Romanian proximity is the third. The Dobrogea plain continues across the border, and a Dobrich partner answers enquiries from that jurisdiction using the same conformity documentation.
This page is published for general business and information purposes and is not an offer of partnership. MediGear reviews all applications, and approval is not guaranteed. Any partnership that proceeds is governed by the written terms agreed between MediGear and the partner. Product availability, category coverage, territory arrangements, commercial terms and any commission or margin structure vary by application and may change. The regulatory information here is general information about the Bulgarian framework and is not legal, regulatory or professional advice. Requirements under Regulation (EU) 2017/745, and the national registration, notification and language provisions administered by the Bulgarian Drug Agency, depend on the device, its classification and the role each party takes in the supply chain. Partner businesses in Dobrich remain responsible for confirming what applies to their own products, and should obtain qualified regulatory, customs or legal advice where required.
Apply with your business details, the parts of Dobrich you cover and the track that interests you. The MediGear partnerships team reviews every application and will come back to you to discuss it.
Any company on the commercial register with a real route to healthcare buyers can apply. Dobrich applicants bring either agricultural-sector reach or coastal clinic relationships, and often both, so veterinary and laboratory resellers appear here more than in most provinces. See the list above for the eligible business types.
Three. Sales agents introduce hospitals, clinics, distributors and procurement teams and earn commission on confirmed sales without holding stock. Authorised distributors represent MediGear in an agreed territory, purchase at distributor level and develop the local market. Resellers buy at wholesale and resell independently through a business they already run, without territorial rights or commitments.
No. Joining is free for businesses in Dobrich, with no registration charges, subscriptions or upfront payments for the agent, distributor or reseller tracks. Distributors and resellers purchase the products they sell, and partners meet their own trading overheads, such as local delivery, storage, and any marketing they run beyond the assets MediGear provides.
Agents earn commission on confirmed sales, not a retainer. The rate depends on the product category, the order value and the volume you bring, and is confirmed in writing before you begin introducing buyers. Because agents hold no stock and carry no inventory risk, earnings simply follow completed orders.
Agricultural provinces purchase steadily rather than in large single contracts, and outpatient, dental, laboratory and veterinary requirements run alongside hospital procurement. Dobrich also carries substantial seasonal coastal demand. A distributor covering the full catalogue across eight municipalities therefore works from a broader base than the tender calendar alone suggests.
Exclusive territorial rights are available to qualified distributors able to demonstrate market reach, financial capability and alignment with MediGear standards, and are assessed case by case. Non-exclusive distribution is also offered and is more common for partners entering a new product category. A territory may be a single province, a group of provinces, or national coverage of one product group.
Yes. A device must carry a CE marking under Regulation (EU) 2017/745, with conformity assessment appropriate to its class, before it is placed on the European market. Member States may add national registration, notification and language requirements on top of that, so confirm what applies to each device before quoting.
Bulgarian-language labelling and instructions for use are expected for devices supplied to users, and tender documents frequently make this explicit. The precise scope depends on the device, its class and its intended user, so confirm the requirement for each product before submitting a bid.
