Supply, Delivery, Installation, Calibration and Commissioning of National Reference Laboratory Equipments

The Ministry of Finance of the Federal Government of Somalia is inviting sealed bids for the supply, delivery, installation and commissioning of laboratory equipment for the National Reference Laboratory of the Somali Bureau of Standards. The procurement is funded through a World Bank grant under the DRIVE project, which supports pastoral economies in the Horn of Africa, with payments to be made via the Direct Payment disbursement method. Bidding follows the Request for Bids method under the World Bank's Procurement Regulations for IPF Borrowers (September 2023), using a single stage, two envelope process with rated criteria for technical and financial evaluation. Bidders must meet minimum financial thresholds, prior contract experience in similar equipment supply, and legal registration requirements. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled ahead of the submission deadline, and bidding documents are available free of charge by email request. Bids must include a Bid-Securing Declaration, and the eventual winner will be subject to beneficial ownership disclosure requirements. This notice will interest firms supplying laboratory, analytical or scientific equipment, as well as those tracking World Bank funded procurement in Somalia's standards and quality infrastructure sector.
