Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
This is a large framework contract package worth ~PKR 85.5 million spanning eleven diverse categories of hospital supplies and services over FY 2026-2027.
The largest single lot (Lot 1) accounts for PKR 40 million in medicine procurement covering routine, emergency, and special programmes. Multiple lots require equipment rental models (haematology analyzer, dry pix printer) and ongoing service provision (dialysis maintenance). Bidders must hold sales and income tax registration, valid pharmacy licenses, and proven institutional supply experience. The bid opening occurs 21 September 2026. Firms can bid selectively for individual lots or bid on multiple categories; this fragmented structure creates opportunities for specialist suppliers but may favour large distributors able to service diverse requirements simultaneously.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with Federal Board of Revenue (sales tax and income tax), hold valid retail drug sale licenses, and demonstrate financially sound backgrounds. Pharmacy operators and chain pharmacies are preferred. Typically for hospital supply contracts in Punjab, bidders must also hold National Tax Number (NTN), be registered with relevant professional bodies (SECP for companies), and possess no outstanding audit objections. The notice does not explicitly restrict bid participation by category of vendor.
