The six goods contracts are: ERBA biochemistry chemicals (MH/RCH/GOODS/NCB/01/083/084) to Sarjanbha Solution Pvt Ltd of Bhaktapur at Rs 1,968,891; Kapitol 5-part hematology analyzer chemicals (MH/RCH/GOODS/NCB/02/083/084) to Sarjanbha Solution at Rs 1,925,000; Ichroma series kits (MH/RCH/GOODS/NCB/03/083/084) to Sarjanbha Solution at Rs 420,000; YHLO iFlash 1200 chemicals (MH/RCH/GOODS/NCB/04/083/084) to K&A Trade Concern of Kathmandu at Rs 2,638,600; X-ray film for Konika Minolta digital X-ray (MH/RCH/GOODS/NCB/05/083/084) to Shubhashree Suppliers of Kathmandu at Rs 1,005,600; and surgical and lab supplies (MH/RCH/GOODS/NCB/06/083/084) to Care Life Surgical Suppliers of Kathmandu at Rs 2,597,758.
The Manthali Hospital lab supply contracts awarded were procured through national competitive bidding for goods by Manthali Hospital in Manthali Municipality, Ramechhap district, Bagmati Province. Following the evaluation of the bids received for the six packages, the hospital identified Sarjanbha Solution Pvt Ltd, based in Bhaktapur, as the selected supplier for three chemical and kit contracts, K&A Trade Concern of Kathmandu for the YHLO iFlash 1200 chemicals, Shubhashree Suppliers of Kathmandu for the X-ray film, and Care Life Surgical Suppliers of Kathmandu for the surgical and lab supplies.
Hospital laboratories depend on reagents and consumables matched to their analyzer equipment. The ERBA and Kapitol contracts cover chemicals for automated blood chemistry and blood cell counts, the Ichroma kits support rapid immunoassay testing, the YHLO iFlash 1200 chemicals serve a chemiluminescence platform, and the X-ray film feeds the Konika Minolta digital X-ray system. For Manthali Hospital, a referral point for Ramechhap district, these supplies are essential for diagnosis and treatment.
Manthali Hospital lab supply contracts awarded: what the notice means
An intent-to-accept notice is not the same as a signed contract. Under Section 27(2) of Nepal’s Public Procurement Act 2063, a public office that intends to accept a bid must first publish a notice announcing its intention, naming the selected bidder and the quoted amount. The law then gives the other participating bidders a window of 7 days from the publication date to file a complaint or protest if they believe the evaluation was flawed. Only after this complaint period closes without a valid objection may the office proceed to sign the contract with the selected bidder.
This mechanism is an important transparency safeguard in public procurement. It allows unsuccessful bidders to scrutinize the decision and raise concerns through a formal channel before public funds are committed. If a complaint is found valid, the office may have to re-evaluate the bids or restart the process. If no complaint is filed within the 7-day period, or if complaints are resolved in the office’s favour, the hospital can move ahead with signing the six supply contracts and the winners begin delivery.
Once the complaint window closes, Sarjanbha Solution will supply the three chemical and kit packages, K&A Trade Concern the Rs 2,638,600 YHLO chemicals, Shubhashree Suppliers the Rs 1,005,600 X-ray film, and Care Life Surgical Suppliers the Rs 2,597,758 surgical and lab supplies. The awards keep Manthali Hospital’s diagnostics running for Ramechhap.
