Repair of surgical instruments washer, relocation of autoclave in CSSD, and installation of onsite steam generator in laundry

The Capital Development Authority (CDA) Islamabad invites bids for a rate running contract involving the repair and installation of critical hospital equipment in the surgical and laundry departments. This procurement is specifically for the repair of surgical instruments washer/disinfector units, relocation and installation of an autoclave machine in the Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD), and installation of an onsite steam generator for laundry services. The procurement is planned for the financial year 2026-27 and is based in Islamabad Capital Territory. Items being procured: - Repair of Surgical Instruments Washer/Disinfector (Quantity: 2 units) - Relocation and installation of Autoclave machine in CSSD (Quantity: 1 unit) - Installation of onsite steam generator for laundry service (Quantity: 1 unit) The surgical instrument washers were procured in 1990 and are currently non-functional, requiring repairs estimated at PKR 1.2 million for both units. Repairing these units is cost-effective compared to purchasing new washers, which cost approximately PKR 20 million each. The autoclave machine, installed in 2007, needs to be relocated within the CSSD to optimize space and improve workflow due to increased workload from multiple surgical disciplines. The onsite steam generator installation aims to replace the existing steam boiler in the surgical block basement, which is costly to maintain and operate. The new generator will be safer, more energy-efficient, and reduce operational costs. The scope includes repair, relocation, reinstallation, and connection to existing steam pipeline networks. Bidders must have relevant experience, with trained personnel having at least 10 years of experience in repairing such equipment. Eligibility requires valid PEC registration, FBR/ATL registration, and compliance with all legal and financial requirements.
