For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
ESSI is procuring three separate medical items through a single tender: a colour Doppler ultrasound system and two Class B autoclaves of different capacities.
The compressed timeline (pre-bid 30 September, bid close 8 October, opening 19 October 2026) is unusually tight for medical equipment. These appear to be one-off capital purchases rather than recurring contracts. Bidders must be FBR-registered with current tax compliance and supply a 2% call deposit. The tender indicates institutional procurement likely for diagnostic and sterilisation capability expansion.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with the Federal Board of Revenue, listed as Active Tax Payers, and maintain current registration for both Income Tax and Sales Tax. Typical procurement in Pakistan requires NTN/SECP registration and tax compliance; these explicit requirements confirm standard contractor credentials apply here.
