Tender Overview
The Health & Family Welfare Department of Gujarat invites bids for hemoglobin test strips (Q2 category) to supply when required at the Dahod district facility (389130). The tender specifies compliance with Medical Device Rules and requires a valid drug license, manufacturing unit certification, and batch test reports. An Earnest Money Deposit of ₹162,000 applies unless exempted under MSE criteria. The option clause allows a ±25% quantity variation at contracted rates, with delivery timing linked to the original delivery order and extended periods. The bid encourages advance sampling prior to supply. This procurement emphasizes MDR conformity, quality assurance, and distributor readiness for ongoing supply. The buyer’s ATC clauses grant exemptions for eligible micro and small enterprises (NSIC/CSPO) and outline state startup provisions for turnover and past performance. The absence of a BOQ indicates a focused product specification rather than quantity-based pricing. This tender targets vendors capable of consistent supply, regulatory compliance, and rapid response within Gujarat.
