This procurement covers the financial years 2025-26, 2026-27, and 2027-28. The scope includes supply and installation of Vacuum Insulated Evaporator (VIE) tanks, filling and maintenance of various medical gas cylinders such as compressed oxygen, nitrous oxide, helium, nitrogen, and medical-grade CO2. The contract also covers cylinder valve replacements, hydraulic pressure testing, painting, and drying charges. The supplier is responsible for the complete installation of VIE bases, fencing, plumbing, and electrical works as per SOPs for safety and security. The vendor must ensure continuous supply and maintenance of medical gases to SMBBIT Sukkur and its satellite centers in Sindh, including Hyderabad, Jamshoro, and Mehar, with provisions for future expansion. Eligibility criteria require bidders to be registered manufacturers, importers, sole agents, or authorized distributors with EPADS SPPRA registration and active tax status with FBR and SRB. Experience in supplying medical gases to at least three 300-bedded hospitals in the last three years is mandatory. Bidders must submit a bid security of PKR 1,500,000 and performance security of PKR 4,000,000. Technical bids must include complete signed and stamped documents, samples, and compliance certificates. The procurement follows the Sindh Public Procurement Rules 2010 (amended) under a single stage one envelope procedure. The tender fee is PKR 5,000 non-refundable, payable via pay order to SMBBIT Karachi. Bids must be submitted electronically through EPADS SPPRA before the closing date. Late submissions will not be accepted. The contract emphasizes strict adherence to delivery timelines with liquidated damages applicable for delays. Bidders should carefully review all tender documents, sign each page, and ensure all required documents are attached to avoid disqualification. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure timely registration on EPADS SPPRA and upload the tender purchase receipt as failure to do so will result in outright rejection of the bid. Additionally, bidders should conduct a site visit at their own expense to fully understand the technical and logistical requirements before submission. This tender offers a significant opportunity for suppliers with proven capability in medical gas supply and installation to partner with a leading trauma institute in Sindh.
