NICVD seeks annual supply of surgical and disposable medical items for cardiovascular care in Karachi.
This recurring contract requires manufacturers or authorised distributors to demonstrate reliable delivery timelines (30 days local, 90 days import), sample submission, and compliance with sales tax and income tax documentation. The tight submission window (08–23 September 2026) and mandatory EPADS registration indicate a formalised procurement. Key challenges include fixed pricing for the fiscal year and penalty clauses for non-performance. Second bidders can be approached without letter from first bidder if initial supplier breaches terms, suggesting NICVD prioritises continuity of supply for critical cardiac care items.
