DUHS seeks rate contract suppliers for specialized medical equipment across three disciplines (cardiology, cath lab, gastroenterology) plus ancillaries.
Scale appears medium-to-large given university hospital scope and 12-month contract with 6-month extension option. This is recurring procurement typical of tertiary care institutions. Tight deadline (Sept 2026) and mandatory EPADS e-bidding create execution risk; distributors/authorized agents eligible, suggesting import or B2B channel. Bid security tied to unspecified 'estimated allocated amount'—budget opacity may deter smaller bidders.
Who can bid: Manufacturers, authorized agents, and distributors eligible. Must be registered on FBR/SRB Active Taxpayers List for income tax and GST/SST. EPADS registration mandatory. No PEC requirement stated (non-construction). Typically, SECP registration or NTN required for corporate entities; sole proprietors need NTN and GST registration.
