About Us
Procurement and tender processes are widely employed in the medical industry, spanning across developed and emerging countries. When we refer to a “Tender,” it signifies an invitation to submit bids for a project.
A Tender is a formal method employed to procure large quantities of products through a competitive bidding process. It is utilized to secure contracts for specific entities, products, quantities, and timeframes.
The tendering process encompasses intricate management tasks that encompass public tenders and negotiations, catering to the requirements of both governmental bodies and private institutions.
