The assignment further includes warranty and after‑sales support to ensure sustainability and long‑term usability of the equipment. Given the technical complexity of the requirement and the inclusion of installation, commissioning, and training services, the procurement will be conducted through a Request for Proposal (RFP) using a combined technical and financial evaluation methodology with a weighting of 70% technical and 30% financial. The procurement process will ensure transparency, competition, and best value for money, with all equipment required to be fully operational within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of contract award, in full compliance with the approved technical specifications.
