Southern Railway Portable Ultrasound Machine Tender 2026 India MDR Compliant, 2.29 Million INR

Tender Overview

The procurement is issued by the Southern Railway (Indian Railways) for a Portable Ultrasound Machine set, with an estimated value of ₹2,285,000 and an EMD of ₹114,250. The scope covers supply, installation, testing, commissioning, and operator training, including statutory clearances. The contract allows a 25% quantity variation during performance and may extend delivery time accordingly. The tender targets a next-generation ultrasound system with on-site upgrade capability and full DICOM/PACS/RIS interoperability, suitable for diagnostic use within rail healthcare facilities. This procurement emphasizes MDR 2017 compliance, medical device licensing, and post-sale support, with a focus on robust after-sales service and demonstrated railway and government-grade performance history.

Key differentiators include mandatory on-site demonstrations, comprehensive installation and training, and transparency on GST handling and payment terms. The equipment must meet international medical device standards and carry current regulatory licenses. The absence of a BOQ implies bidders should align with the general specification set and provide detailed technical and service parameters in their bid.
