Tender Overview
Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST) in Trivandrum, Kerala invites bids for a niche surgical product: suture assemblies described as 2 steel, 2 needles, monofilament. The procurement focus centers on a monofilament suture set, with no BOQ quantities listed and an unclear estimated value in the public data. The initiative is housed under the Department of Science and Technology, highlighting specialized medical equipment needs for clinical and research use. A key differentiator is the requirement for OEM authorization where applicable and GST-compliant invoicing. Bidders should prepare to provide samples before bid opening as requested.
