Public Auction of Medical Equipment by Abbottabad Public Sector Organization

A public sector organization located in Abbottabad, Federal Province, is conducting a public auction for the disposal of fourteen serviceable, unserviceable and obsolete medical equipment items on an as-is, where-is basis. The auction encompasses specialized diagnostic and laboratory equipment including a dual-head SPECT gamma camera, chemistry analyzer, hematology analyzer, radiotherapy simulator, film processors, sterilization machine, operating table, incinerator and related medical devices. Items are listed with unit quantities ranging from one unit each, representing equipment surplus to organizational requirements. The auction is advertised through this public notice to ensure transparent and competitive bidding from eligible parties. Location for inspection and collection is at P.O Box No. 110, Mansehra Road, Mandian, Abbottabad.

Bidders are required to submit earnest money deposit equivalent to ten percent of the bid amount in cash or CDR form in favor of the Sr. Accounts Officer, without which bids will not be entertained. The earnest money is refundable to unsuccessful bidders but will be forfeited if the successful bidder fails to meet contractual obligations. Successful bidders must submit an additional twenty-five percent of the bid value on the spot. All bids must be inclusive of applicable government taxes. Financial proposals must be sealed and clearly marked, with only complete submissions being evaluated by the reviewing authority.

Bid documents and items are available for inspection at the site from 0900 hours to 1400 hours daily, excluding Friday and Sunday, with contact through the Store Department extension 253. Sealed financial proposals must be submitted by 1100 hours on 31st August 2026 (Monday) at the Store Department office. Bids will be opened the same day at 1130 hours and successful bidder(s) will be informed immediately thereafter. Buyers must collect awarded items within seven days at their own expense. The seller reserves the right to accept or reject any bid without assigning reasons. In case of an unplanned public holiday, tender opening will be rescheduled to the next working day.

This is a liquidation auction of 14 medical equipment items, mostly diagnostic and laboratory apparatus. Scale is small to medium, with individual unit quantities. The tender is notable for tight timelines—inspection period is brief and submission deadline is 31 August 2026 with opening same day. This appears to be a one-off disposal rather than a framework contract. Bidders must arrange their own transport and complete collection within seven days, incurring logistics costs. The as-is condition and forfeiture of earnest money on contract failure suggest operational risk.

Who can bid: The notice does not specify formal eligibility restrictions or registration requirements. Typically, Pakistani medical equipment purchasers are required to hold NTN and business registration from SECP; healthcare providers may need relevant healthcare authority registration. No PEC category applies as this is not construction.
