The specific procurement details are quite technical. The hospital is looking to acquire a Chemical on Full Automated Biochemistry Analyzer (NC-200 ZYBIO or its equivalent specification). This is identified under contract number NCB/BH/01/2081-82. The estimated cost for this equipment, including VAT, is NPR 18,63,166.51. To participate in the bidding process, interested parties must provide a bid security amount of NPR 55,000.00, and there is a bid document price of NPR 3,000.00.
The timeline for this procurement process is specifically structured. The last date for bid submission is set for January 23rd, 2025, at 12:00 hrs, with bid opening scheduled for the same day at 13:00 hrs. This gives potential bidders approximately one month to prepare and submit their proposals.
For the financial aspects of the bidding process, the hospital has designated the Agricultural Development Bank's Basantapur, Madi, Chitwan branch as the official bank for transactions. The hospital's account number for both bid document purchases and bid security deposits is 0508801795639187.
The hospital has set important validity requirements for the bids. The bid validity period must be a minimum of 90 days from the last date of bid submission. Additionally, the bid security must remain valid for at least 30 days beyond the bid validity period, ensuring the hospital has adequate time to process and evaluate all submissions.
An important administrative note includes provisions for holiday situations. If the last date for purchasing, submission, or opening falls on a government holiday, the next working day will automatically become the deadline.
The document also references that any matters not specifically covered in the tender notice will be governed by the latest amendments of the Public Procurement Act-2063 and Public Procurement Regulation-2064. This ensures legal compliance and transparency in the procurement process.
The invitation is officially authorized by the Acting Medical Superintendent of the hospital, indicating the formal nature of this procurement process. For complete bidding documentation, interested parties are directed to download the full set from the PPMO E-Portal at www.bolpatra.gov.np/egp.
