Dear Editor,
I believe there is a need for some investigative research that a responsible newspaper like yours should do as it pertains to the current tender of pharmaceutical products. It is my opinion that this tender is nothing more than a sham.
Why is it a requirement for bidders to bid for 100% of items per lot? I will explain what is meant by a lot. Bear in mind no single manufacturer makes all the products that may be required. Thus in the example below a manufacturer of Diazepam may not make Phenobarbital. How does this help in ensuring the best quality and/or best value? Will the award be made to only one bidder per lot?
Can you please Google this product below and determine if it is not banned in the US and UK, although not in all countries; the popular names are Baralgin tabs and Analgin injection. Why is this out to be tendered?
Please continue to expose all the ills that beset this country.
Yours faithfully,
Vishnu Dyal
