Moderate effort to bid.

Written from the published notice — the full tender document was not available to us. Download it from the source before bidding: eligibility rules, fees and specifications may only appear there.

• The enalapril line is measured in kilograms — "10 Kilogram" against a description of 10mg tablets in boxes of 100 — which cannot be right; confirm the quantity before pricing.
• The atropine line reads 600mg/ml, whereas atropine injection is normally 600 micrograms per ml — a thousandfold difference that should be confirmed rather than assumed.
• The notice states no requirement for MCAZ registration, a licence to deal in medicines, batch documentation, cold chain or minimum shelf life; for a schedule of this kind those conditions will be in the document, so do not read their absence here as their absence from the tender.
• Several lines give a pack size in the description (b/100, b/500, b/1000) while the quantity unit is "Each", so whether packs or units are wanted needs checking line by line.
• 800 litres of IV fluid is a substantial delivery to Shamva; build the haulage in.
• Shamva has a companion surgicals quotation.
