Tender Details
Description / Scope of Work
The Office of the Medical Superintendent, Social Security Hospital, Bara Dari Road, Shahdara Lahore, invites bids for a framework/rate contract for the supply of Serum Electrolytes Analyzer (Na+, K+, Cl-, Ca) and HbA1c Analyzer on a reagent basis for the financial year 2026-2027. The requirement covers ongoing reagent supply on a cost-per-test or reagent-rental model to support routine biochemistry testing at the hospital located in Shahdara, Lahore, Punjab. This is a recurring annual arrangement rather than a one-time equipment purchase, and the tender document, along with technical specifications, evaluation criteria and checklist, is enclosed with the notice.
Bidders must not be suspended, blacklisted or declared defaulters by PESSI or PPRA anywhere in Punjab within the last two years, and must submit an undertaking to this effect on Rs.100 e-stamp paper. Firms are required to confirm that quoted prices are not higher than those charged to other Government or Autonomous Institutions, nor above their own trade prices, failing which excess amounts must be refunded. Bidders must also provide Sales Tax Registration Number and NTN, along with details of deposit-at-call amount, bank and branch as part of the bid form.
The tender is free of cost and the bidding document is available through the PPRA Punjab website (www.ppra.punjab.gov.pk), the PESSI website (www.pessi.gop.pk), and the e-Pak Acquisition & Disposal System (Punjab E-Procurement System). Bids must be submitted by 06-08-2026 at 11:00 A.M., with public opening scheduled the same day at 11:30 A.M. at the hospital office in Shahdara, Lahore.
For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
This is a recurring reagent-supply framework contract, not a capital equipment purchase, meaning revenue depends on ongoing test volumes at a single mid-sized public hospital. Suppliers of clinical chemistry reagents (electrolyte and HbA1c panels) with existing analyzer placements or reagent-rental models are best positioned. The strict price-parity clause tying rates to other government institutions and trade prices could squeeze margins, so bidders should benchmark carefully before quoting to avoid refund liability later.
Who can bid: Bidders must not be blacklisted or defaulters with PESSI/PPRA in Punjab in the last two years, and must hold valid NTN and Sales Tax Registration. Typically, diagnostic reagent suppliers also need drug/medical device import or distribution licenses and manufacturer authorization letters, though these are not explicitly detailed in the excerpt provided.
