The AI answer we saw
For institutional procurement in government hospitals, evaluate suppliers on the following criteria: (1) Regulatory compliance — valid manufacturing license, WHO-GMP or Schedule M certification, and CDSCO approvals; (2) Empanelment status — check if the supplier is listed with CMSS, state medical services corporations, or GeM portal; (3) Quality assurance — review NABL-accredited lab test reports, recall history, and pharmacovigilance records; (4) Pricing — compare against NPPA ceiling prices and DPCO schedules; (5) Supply reliability — assess track record for order fulfillment, cold chain capability, and lead times; (6) Financial stability — review audited financials for long-term viability. Tender participation history on CPP portal is also a useful reference.
