Thiruvananthapuram: The state health department has invited short tenders for operating the 108 ambulance service for six months in Alappuzha and Thiruvananthapuram.
The fresh tender notice said: "Those agencies, which, in the last five years, have operated for minimum two years an emergency ambulance service of any state government, either covering the entire state or a part of the state, with a fleet of at least 25 ambulances supported by a control room, are eligible to apply."
The Kerala Medical Services Corporation Limited has invited new tenders as its agreement with the Ziqitsa Health Care Limited will expire on October 15. Ziqitsa has not been given an extension as it is facing a vigilance inquiry following allegations of overbilling against the company's management. |
