According to the procurement notice, bidders must submit quotations inclusive of GST and fully compliant with the specifications provided. The successful bidder will be responsible for clearing the motorcycles, completing registration requirements, ensuring one-year roadworthiness, and covering annual and insurance fees.

Bids will be accepted at 11:00 hrs on Wednesday at the Anthurium Meeting Hall of the IGMH Procurement Department. They will be opened in the presence of attendees, and late submissions will not be accepted.

The announcement comes amid ongoing public concern over long queues and delays in receiving treatment at the country’s main hospital.
