The General Authority for Supply and Procurement has announced a new tender for the supply of medical oxygen in cylinders to the Children’s Hospital in Damascus, which operates under the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.

Financial requirements for the tender include an initial deposit of 330,000 Syrian pounds, to be paid in compliance with the financial and legal terms specified in the dossier. The final insurance deposit is set at 10% of the total contract value and must be paid within 10 days of the contract award date. The agreement includes a penalty clause for delays, stipulating a fine of 0.1% of the material value for each day of delay, provided that the total fines do not exceed 20% of the contract’s total value.
