Procurement of Linen Items for 2026-27

The Punjab Institute of Mental Health Lahore is inviting sealed bids for the procurement of linen items for the financial year 2026-27. This tender is specifically for suppliers interested in providing quality linen products to support the hospital's operational needs in Lahore. The procurement process is conducted under the PPRA Rules 2014 (amended) and requires participation through the E-Pak Acquisition and Disposal System (EPADS). The scope includes supplying various linen items as per the detailed terms and quantities outlined in the bidding documents, which can be downloaded free of cost from the Punjab Procurement Regulatory Authority and EPADS websites. Bidders must ensure they are not blacklisted by any procuring agency or PPRA in Punjab and must hold valid registration with the relevant tax authorities of Pakistan. This tender follows a single stage, two envelope bidding procedure where technical and financial bids are submitted separately but simultaneously. The original bid security of 1% of the estimated price must be submitted in the form of CDR, bank guarantee, or pay order in the name of the Executive Director before the closing date. Technical bids will be opened on the same day at 11:00 AM in the presence of the hospital purchase committee. Interested bidders should note the submission deadline is 13th July 2026 at 10:30 AM, with bid opening at 11:00 AM the same day. All submissions must be made online through the EPADS portal, but the physical bid security must be delivered to the Executive Director's office. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure their bid security is submitted well before the deadline to avoid disqualification, as late submissions are not accepted. Also, carefully review the bidding documents for compliance to avoid rejection due to technical errors or incomplete information.
