Pricing tip for medical equipment

Medical device tenders often require installation, training and annual maintenance. Price each stage, not just the equipment.

  2. OEM authorisation missing or not in the given format
  3. Product certificate expired or not covering the quoted model

  5. Price bid uploaded in the wrong template or with taxes shown wrongly

Frequently asked questions

What approvals are needed for medical equipment tenders?

Many medical devices need registration or a licence under the medical device rules administered by CDSCO, plus OEM authorisation. Some tenders also ask for specific quality certifications. Bio-medical waste services need pollution control authorisation. Confirm in the tender document / NIT.

Where are medical equipment tenders published?

State departments publish on their state e-procurement portals, central offices on CPPP (eprocure.gov.in), and many goods and services are bought on GeM. The tender notice names the portal and the buyer.
