Global tender for vaccines gets no bidders
The Hindu
They were for the supply of 3.5 cr. doses
Tamil Nadu’s global tender for COVID-19 vaccines, which closed on Saturday, did not attract any bidders. This has put the State’s plans to vaccinate nearly 3.6 crore people in the 18-44 age group in jeopardy. On May 15, the Tamil Nadu Medical Services Corporation (TNMSC) floated a global tender for the supply of 3.5 crore vaccines with a delivery schedule of 180 days, progressively, from the date of the purchase order. June 5 was the last date for the tender. A senior official confirmed that the global tender had fetched no response from bidders.More Related News
