The outer envelope must clearly display the tender number and the date of the announcement.
According to the specified conditions, the required initial deposit is 250,000 Syrian pounds, while the final deposit is set at 10% of the total contract value.

Bidders are required to remain committed to their offers for a period of three months following the bid submission deadline.
Interested entities may obtain the tender documentation from the office of the General Authority for Supply and Procurement in Damascus for a fee of $50 USD. The Authority also provides an electronic payment option via the “Sham Cash” application. The organization emphasized that any bids failing to meet the stated requirements, or lacking the initial deposit receipt in the first envelope, will not be considered.
This tender is part of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research’s broader measures to upgrade medical facilities at university hospitals in the Latakia governorate, ensuring the continued and efficient delivery of medical services to citizens in accordance with required standards.
