The BOQ lists 27 items spanning: analgesics (e.g., Zerodol MR), antiemetics (e.g., Tab Ondansetron 4 mg), antihistamines (e.g., Tab Cetrizine 10 mg), cough lozenges, throat syrups, topical antiseptics (Dettol), antiseptic ointments (Candibiotic), wound care bandages (crape bandage 10 cm/15 cm), splints and braces (ankle, knee, wrist, cervical collar), abdominal and lumbar supports, sutures and emergency care items (e.g., ECG jelly), and basic first-aid accessories (band aids, Dettol).
• The tender specifies a scope of supply only and does not provide brand or standard mandates in the data supplied. The absence of explicit delivery timelines suggests standard procurement delivery terms apply. No EMD amount is disclosed in the data.
• The “Option Clause” allows quantity variation up to ±25% during procurement and contract execution, with delivery times adjusted accordingly. Bidders should prepare for scale-up or scale-down within the stated limits and ensure pricing accommodates fluctuating quantities.

Terms, Conditions & Eligibility

• The buyer reserves the right to adjust quantities by up to 25% at contract award and during the contract period. Delivery timelines extend from the last date of the original delivery order, with minimum additional time of 30 days if extended.
• Scope is limited to supply of goods; no installation or services required.
• Bidders should align pricing with the “bid price to include all cost components.”
• The terms emphasize adherence to delivery schedules, with extension possible within the calculated framework; bidders must strictly comply with option-based quantity changes and delivery clauses.
• Given the lack of explicit standards in the data, bidders should plan to meet common medical-grade packaging, expiry considerations, and regulatory compliance applicable to government procurement.
