Tender Overview
The tender is issued by Eastern Railway (Indian Railways) for the procurement of Surgical Rubber Gloves (Q2), with conformity to relevant standards and regulatory requirements. The scope includes supply, installation, testing and commissioning of the goods, complemented by advance sample approvals post-award. Suppliers must ensure IS 4148 (Latest) dimensional tolerances, packaging and marking, and MDR 2017 compliance. The bid contemplates a flexible quantity clause permitting up to 25% quantity variations during and after contract award. A BIS/IS certificate requirement is included, with emphasis on advance sampling and conformity to quality standards. The procurement emphasizes batch-level quality, timely delivery, and post-award sample approval to avoid bulk deviations. Unique tender features include the option to adjust order quantity while preserving contracted rates and a defined delivery window anchored to the original delivery period. This broadens the supplier base while maintaining rigorous quality and regulatory compliance.
Key differentiators include the strict requirement for IS 4148 (Latest) packaging, surface finish and dimensional controls, and the need to align with MDR 2017 for medical device classification. The absence of a BOQ implies a focused product specification set leveraging standard gloves criteria and buyer approvals.
