Suppliers may bid for one, some or all of the equipment listed.

Preferred manufacturers and models have been provided as a guide to the required specification however equivalent or superior alternatives that meet the minimum requirements will be considered.

Where possible suppliers should provide pricing for direct delivery to Malawi.

If direct delivery is not available, suppliers should clearly state the delivery term offered.

Suppliers may submit bids for one, some or all of the packages listed within the pricing schedule.

Each package will be evaluated independently against the evaluation criteria set out below.
