Framework Procurement of Lab Reagents and Analyzers by Jinnah Hospital Pathology Department

Jinnah Hospital, Lahore, through its Pathology Department under the AIMC, invites framework contract bids for the procurement of laboratory reagents and kits on a rental basis for the financial year 2026-27. The tender encompasses six separate equipment categories: fully automated hematology analyzer (CBC), fully automated ESR analyzer, fully automated immunoassay analyzer (CLIA), fully automated coagulometer, fully automated blood gases analyzer, and semi-automatic wash and ELISA test reader. The hospital is located in Lahore, Punjab, at Mollana Shabir Ahmad Usmani Road near Faisal Town. This is a three-year framework tender designed to ensure transparency, enhanced competition, uninterrupted laboratory services, and value for public funds. Technical and financial bids must be uploaded on e-PAD with no hard copies required. A bid security of 2% in original form must be deposited at tender opening. Samples of quoted items will be received on the same day as tender opening. Demonstration of quoted systems must be provided within ten days for evaluation before the technical evaluation committee meeting. Bidders must prepare documentation according to specified criteria, with analyzer specifications detailed in the tender documents.

Jinnah Hospital seeks reagent suppliers and equipment vendors for a three-year framework covering six critical lab analyzer categories. This is a recurring annual contract renewable subject to performance, not a one-time purchase. The hospital emphasizes quality laboratory services and competitive test rates; suppliers must demonstrate systems within ten days and meet stringent technical requirements. Scale is medium to large given the hospital's role and multi-analyzer scope. Key advantage: longer contract period encourages investment and competitive pricing, but vendors face performance-based renewal conditions.

Who can bid: The notice does not specify PEC category or registration requirements explicitly. Typically, medical equipment and reagent suppliers must hold NTN/FBR registration, relevant SECP or trade registration, and product authorization from the Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority or equivalent health authority certification.
