Procurement of Drugs, Medicines & Surgical Items by Sindh Institute of Ophthalmology

Sindh Institute of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences (SIOVS) Hyderabad invites sealed tenders for local purchase of drugs, medicines, surgical items and other allied medical supplies on a 24-hour emergency basis under regular budgetary provision for fiscal year 2026-27. The procurement covers supplies for both the main SIOVS facility in Hyderabad and Eye Hospital Khairpur. Eligible suppliers must be manufacturers or authorized dealers registered with Income Tax, Sales Tax, and Sindh Board of Revenue under SST Rules 2012. Quantities and detailed specifications are provided in Section II of the bidding document.

Bidders must demonstrate significant experience supplying pharmaceutical and surgical items to eye hospitals over the past three years, supported by execution details. Essential credentials include valid DRAP registration, valid manufacturing or import licenses, SECP certificate, ISO certification, proof of local outlet around SIOVS to enable emergency supply capability, and for authorized dealers, item-wise manufacturer authorization letters. Importers must provide production and authorization proofs from original manufacturers with international contact details for verification. Financial eligibility requires three years of audited financial statements from scheduled banks, audit reports, proof of current assets, and Active Tax-payer List (ATL) certification from FBR/SRB. Any history of blacklisting, arbitration, or litigation with government bodies must be disclosed.

Bidders should submit applications with complete documentation as specified in the notice. The tender document, detailed requirements, evaluation criteria, and prescribed bid forms are available from SIOVS Hyderabad at the address provided. Interested suppliers must have a physical outlet or delivery point in Hyderabad to facilitate day-to-day emergency supplies.

SIOVS seeks long-term emergency supply partners for pharmaceutical and surgical items across two facilities. This is a recurring, high-frequency procurement requiring rapid fulfillment capability—the 24-hour emergency supply clause signals unpredictable order timing and critical importance to hospital operations. Bidders need substantial working capital, established distribution networks in Hyderabad, and proven track record with healthcare institutions. The extensive documentation requirements (DRAP registration, ISO, three years financials, audit reports, ATL status) indicate SIOVS prioritizes vendor stability and compliance maturity, not just price competition.

Who can bid: Manufacturers or authorized dealers registered with Income Tax, Sales Tax, and Sindh Board of Revenue (SST Rules 2012) are eligible. Essential: valid DRAP registration, manufacturing/import licenses, SECP certificate, ISO certification, three-year audited financials from scheduled banks, FBR/SRB registration with Active Tax-payer List (ATL), and no history of government blacklisting or litigation. Local outlet in Hyderabad mandatory.
