This procurement is based on standard bidding documents and aims to enhance surgical imaging capabilities in orthopaedic, trauma, and spine surgeries. The technical scope includes a ceiling-mounted 12x12 inch C-arm orthopedic machine featuring a double-sliding C-arm for high-speed 3D imaging. It is equipped with a large Image Intensifier or Flat Panel Detector, providing high-resolution 1K x 1K imaging. The machine offers extensive free space for surgical tables, orbital rotation of approximately 115°–150°, and horizontal travel of 200–250 mm. Dual-monitor trolley with medical-grade displays and DICOM 3.0 compliance for PACS integration are included. Specific orthopedic features such as SmartMetal/Metal Artifact Reduction and a large field of view are also part of the specifications. Eligible bidders must have valid NTN, Sales Tax or SRB registration, and a minimum of 10 years of relevant medical equipment supply experience with KMC and 15 years overall. Financial stability is required with a business turnover exceeding the quoted bid amount over the last five years. Bidders must not be blacklisted and should provide completion certificates from previous procuring agencies. A 5% bid security in the form of a pay order or bank guarantee is mandatory. The tender documents are available from 28/04/2026 to 12/05/2026 at the office of the Senior Director (M&HS), KMC, located at Ground Floor, Jigar Murad Abadi Road near Islamia College, Karachi. The last date for submission is 13/05/2026 at 3:00 pm, with opening at 3:30 pm on the same day. Bidders are advised to ensure all bid documents are complete and submitted in sealed covers to avoid rejection.

This prevents disqualification due to expired financial guarantees and aligns with KMC's strict compliance requirements.
