Sample Qualification and Technical Evaluation Criteria for Healthcare Procurement

This document provides a comprehensive sample of qualification and technical evaluation criteria for healthcare facility procurement, as developed by the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA). It is intended to guide bidders and procurement officials in understanding the evaluation process for medical, surgical, and diagnostic supplies and services in Pakistan. The criteria are designed to ensure that only technically and financially sound suppliers are considered for award, with a strong emphasis on quality, compliance, and experience. Items being procured: - Market experience in quoted items (above 5 years, 3-5 years, 1-2 years) - Past performance with major institutions (above 10, 8-10, 5-7, 2-4, 1, or none) - Valid GMP, ISO, or other relevant certifications - Financial status (last year audited balance sheet, tax returns for last 3 years, bank certificates) - Production capacity per day against quoted items - Product sample evaluation (labeling, packing, physical appearance) - Technical staff qualifications (plant manager, production manager, quality assurance/control manager) - Bioequivalence study availability - Firm ranking by pharmaceutical sales index - Source of raw material (active ingredient and excipient, original manufacturer or others) The technical scope covers all aspects of supplier and product evaluation, including experience, certifications, financial health, production capacity, and compliance with regulatory standards. Bidders must provide evidence such as GMP and ISO certificates, audited financials, and proof of past institutional supply. Product samples are assessed for compliance with labeling and packing rules, and technical staff credentials must be supported by attested degrees and appointment letters. Eligibility requirements include valid drug manufacturing or sale licenses, affidavits regarding batch history and drug registration, and good manufacturing certificates. For products, compulsory criteria include drug registration certificates, product experience, sample specifications, and quality certifications from recognized authorities. Ordinary criteria cover past performance, local market business, and export experience. Bidders should ensure all documentation is complete and up to date, as incomplete submissions may be disqualified. A practical tip: focus on providing clear, attested evidence for each criterion, especially for technical staff and product certifications, to maximize your evaluation score.
