Odisha government's global tender for procurement of 3.8 crore COVID-19 vaccine doses has received two bids, reports Livemint.
However, the names of the bidders for the global Covid-19 vaccine tender by the state are yet to be revealed.
The state had issued the global tender through the Odisha State Medical Corporation Limited (OSMCL). As per a notification issued by OSMCL, the price bids will be opened on 9 June at 11.30am. Following this, the order of half of the total quantity will be awarded to the L1 bidder, from whom the lowest quotation would be received.
It should be noted that the deadline to submit the bids was earlier set at 28 May. However, following Cyclone Yaas, the deadline was pushed ahead to 4 June.
As per the tender documents, the selected bidder will have to deliver the first 75 lakh doses in 30 days from the date of the purchase order, and complete the supply of 3.8 crore doses in 120 days.
For the same, the state government will offer an advance payment of up to 30 per cent of the value of each purchase order while the final payment will be ensured within two working days from the date of receipt of each consignment.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
