Objectives

The primary objective is to procure two (2) self-inking cash flow stamps with adjustable date mechanisms for operational use at Grey’s Hospital. The procurement aims to secure compliant office supplies efficiently while adhering to provincial health supply chain management policies, preferential procurement regulations, and strict administrative compliance standards.

Scope

The tender covers the supply and delivery of two self-inking date stamps to Grey’s Hospital. The quotation validity period is ninety (90) days, with no fixed contract duration specified. Bidders must include all delivery costs in their quoted prices. The evaluation follows an 80/20 preference point system, allocating eighty points for price competitiveness and twenty points for specific socio-economic transformation goals. Late submissions will not be accepted, and quotes must be physically deposited in the designated tender box before the closing deadline.
