Question:
Hello Team,

I would appreciate your clarification on whether this tender includes Pharmaceutical IV drugs within its scope. At present, I am unable to locate a product list for IV drugs within the documents provided, despite reviewing the suggested attachments.

Could you please confirm whether IV drug categories are intended to be included in this tender? If there is no scope for Pharmaceutical IV drugs, please note that the Fresenius Kabi Pharmaceuticals division would not be in a position to submit an offer for this opportunity.

Thank you in advance for your guidance, and I look forward to your confirmation so we can determine next steps.

Kind regards,

Heena
