BMC struggling with Optimizing vaccine bids

MUMBAI: With Moderna and Pfizer stating they will just handle both the Centre and denying authorising any broker to promote their own Covid vaccine in India, the state government will be now in a quandary as eight intermediaries asserting tie-ups with both, AstraZeneca and also the manufacturer of Sputnik have reacted to its 5-crore doses global tender. It’s made a decision to seek clarification from the Centre on if it may engage with all the bidders. The BMC, also, is confronting the difficult job of confirming the supplies of its own eight bidders, many established overseas. “We shall assess the bids according to merits of this situation,” BMC main Iqbal Chahal stated. State, BMC request vax exemptions for much more infoWhile country officials said that they will await the Centre’s advice, health ministry Rajesh Tope said that the country will request the bidders to provide more information, particularly on the program of shipping. The BMC said on Tuesday it had received seven awards to provide the Russian Sputnik V, and also only one by the Czech Republic to supply Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines. The corporation has requested for 100% progress payment, and also the BMC can not make in accordance with the conditions of its international tender. “Verifying all specifics and assessing whether the bidders may in fact supply the necessary amount is essential. We’re setting up movie calls one by you. In addition, the manner of repayment is going to need to be set out,” said P Velrasu, further municipal commissioner (jobs ), who’s going the BMC’s vaccine procurement program. The BMC has hunted crore vaccine doses to be sent within 3 weeks. Since additional scrutiny of these bids is rising, the EOI was extended until June 1.
