This procurement is specific to Sukkur and involves supplying meals as per a detailed menu including breakfast, lunch, and dinner with items such as eggs, suji halwa, chicken, curd, salad, daal moong, seasonal vegetables, meat, mutton, rice, roti, sweet dishes, and seasonal fruits. The scope includes providing hygienically approved food trolleys, disposable and covered utensils, and ensuring the supplier's staff wear clean aprons during cooking and distribution. The hospital will provide kitchen facilities, electricity, and gas, but the cooking responsibility lies with the supplier. The supplier must maintain cleanliness and hygiene standards, with regular inspections by the hospital committee. Eligibility requires bidders to have relevant experience in food supply and distribution services, preferably with a teaching hospital of at least 600-bed capacity. They must provide a dedicated supply and cooking team, valid FBR registration, NTN certificate, SRB certificate, and food business license for the district. The bidder must also submit a bid security of Rs. 1,000,000 in the form of a pay order or bank draft. Performance security of 5% is also required.

Bidders should carefully follow the instructions, submit all required documents, and prepare a presentation on the diet plan. The tender emphasizes local preference and strict adherence to quality and hygiene standards. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure all documentation is complete and accurate, including proof of experience and licenses, and to prepare a thorough demonstration of the diet plan as this is a mandatory evaluation criterion. Early registration on the EPADS portal and timely submission will avoid disqualification due to late bids.
