Kotwa District Hospital wants 23 lines of surgical consumables — 300 boxes of latex gloves, 120 crepe bandages, sutures, glucometers and an autoclave — delivered within 30 days. Bids close 8 September 2026 at 10:00 CAT.

Kotwa District Hospital is restocking wards and laboratory in one request for quotation. The bulk of it is everyday consumables: 300 boxes of latex gloves (100 per box), 120 crepe bandages at 100mm, 65 jars of clinical axillary thermometers, 20 boxes of 2/0 nylon suture and 12 of 2/0 vicryl on a round body, plus surgical blades size 21, size 18 Foley catheters, urine dipsticks, linen savers, methylated spirit and sodium hypochlorite in 5-litre containers. Mixed into the same list is a small amount of equipment — one autoclave, five sphygmomanometers, four code-free glucometers and an adult height board — together with the strips that feed them: 20 boxes of code-free glucostrips, four of Sinocare, and single boxes of Cera-Chek HB Plus and SD glucostrips. A supplier who carries only consumables would be quoting on part of the list. Delivery is to Kotwa District Hospital itself, well outside Harare, within 30 days. The hospital is paying from internally generated funds and bids must stay valid for 30 days.

• Bid form fee is listed as 0. The notice states no document fee and mentions no bid security, but the full document was not available to confirm either.

• One line reads "Hand Sanitiser 1l Latex gloves b/100 175 Linen savers p/10 20 Methylated spirit 5l 1 Pregnancy test kit b/100 9" at a quantity of 15 — several items appear to have been run into a single row, and three of them also appear as their own lines. The quantities there are ambiguous and worth confirming before pricing.
• Clinical axillary thermometers are listed as 65 "Jar", which is not an obvious unit for that item.
• The list mixes four different glucostrip brands (code-free, Sinocare, Cera-Chek HB Plus, SD) with four code-free glucometers, so strip and meter compatibility needs checking against what is actually being asked for.
• Delivery is to the hospital in Kotwa rather than a Harare depot; transport is the bidder's to cost.
