Vendor Registration for Licensed Retail Pharmacies – Local Purchase Day to Day by Gujranwala Teaching Hospital

Gujranwala Teaching Hospital invites bids through the Punjab e-Procurement system for the financial year 2026-27 to register vendors, specifically licensed retail pharmacies, for local purchase day-to-day supply of medicines and surgical items. The procurement will be conducted through an open competitive bidding process in compliance with Health Department guidelines, Government of Punjab, and Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) Rules 2014 as amended. This is an annual registration framework for recurring pharmaceutical and surgical supplies to the hospital in Gujranwala, Punjab.

Eligible bidders must possess a valid computerized Drug Sale License (DSL) from the competent authority, a performance guarantee of Rs. 50,000, attested copies of academic credentials and pharmacy council registration (Category A), attested computerized National Identity Card of the pharmacist, and an undertaking on Rs. 100 stamp paper confirming compliance with DRAP 2012 standards, Drug Act 1976, and Local Purchase Day-to-Day Guidelines. Applicants must be active taxpayers with valid GST and NTN certificates, demonstrate an annual turnover of at least Rs. 5 million, possess computerized inventory management software, and maintain proper storage facilities with temperature monitoring systems. Vendors must not be blacklisted and must affirm they have not traded in spurious or stolen medicines.

Interested bidders may download bidding documents from the Punjab e-Procurement system and must submit bids with bid security of Rs. 50,000 as cash deposit receipt, demand draft, pay order, or bank guarantee before or on the technical bid opening date. Bids will be opened by the vendor registration committee. All taxes are applicable as per rules. Successful bidders must sign contracts per guidelines. In case of an official holiday on the opening date, the next working day will be designated as the tender opening day. Bidders are required to upload only one offer and provide complete company profile including technical, engineering, managerial capabilities, after-sales services, past experience, and performance records.

This is an annual vendor registration tender for licensed retail pharmacies seeking to supply medicines and surgical items to Gujranwala Teaching Hospital on a day-to-day basis. The procurement is ongoing throughout FY 2026-27 with continuous bidding, making it a framework contract rather than a one-off tender. The bid security requirement of Rs. 50,000 is moderate; however, eligibility criteria are comprehensive—demanding valid DSL, active tax status, minimum Rs. 5 million turnover, computerized inventory software, proper storage infrastructure with temperature controls, and notarized affidavits confirming non-involvement in spurious drug trade. This suggests the hospital prioritizes quality assurance and regulatory compliance. Pharmacies meeting these prerequisites can expect recurring business, but must be capable of rapid fulfillment and transparent record-keeping.

Who can bid: Licensed retail pharmacies with valid computerized Drug Sale License (DSL) from the competent authority are eligible. Bidders must be active NTN and GST taxpayers with minimum annual turnover of Rs. 5 million, hold pharmacy council registration (Category A), possess computerized inventory management software, maintain proper storage facilities with temperature monitoring, and have never been blacklisted. Applicants must submit performance guarantee of Rs. 50,000 and undertakings affirming DRAP 2012 compliance and non-involvement in spurious drug sales.
