Tender Overview
Organization: HLL Infra Tech Services Limited, under the Department of Health and Family Welfare, invites bids for a 3T MRI machine and comprehensive accessory suite. Estimated value: ₹2,337,500,000 with an EMD of ₹46,750,000. The scope covers magnets, gantry, shimming, patient table with transfer cart, multiple coils, RF system, gradient system, spectroscopy, post-processing workstation, server hardware, and extensive pre-installation civil/Electrical/AC works. Location details are not specified in the data, but the procurement targets government health infrastructure upgrades. A wide-coil configuration and patient comfort features (detachable faces, mirrors, and anxiety-reducing elements) are highlighted as differentiators. The tender emphasizes advanced imaging capabilities (isotropic 3-D T1/T2, Dixon, parallel imaging, perfusion, DTI, cardiac imaging, and multi-nuclear spectroscopy) to support multi-site clinical deployment and sophisticated research. The inclusion of pre-installation site works signals a turnkey delivery expectation, with a strong focus on installation, commissioning, and maintenance readiness. The award will hinge on compliance with technical breadth, delivery readiness, and warranty/after-sales commitments.
