Rules and procedure

Public bodies dispose of assets and lease rights through open auction or sealed bids under their applicable rules. Notices state the reserve or base price, the earnest money, inspection dates and the payment schedule; the highest acceptable bid wins, subject to approval.

How to bid

1. Read the notice for the lot, base price, inspection dates and terms.
2. Inspect the items or site before the auction where allowed.
3. Deposit the earnest money in the required form to qualify to bid.
4. Bid in person or in sealed form as the notice says.
5. If you win, pay the balance within the stated time and collect or take possession.

Documents you will usually need

• CNIC (individuals) or business registration (firms)
• Earnest money / call deposit in the required form
• NTN where the notice requires it
• Signed acceptance of auction terms

Tips from the notices we track

• Inspect first — auctioned items are sold as they are.
• Factor in removal and transport costs for scrap and vehicles.
• Lease auctions often need advance rent or security; budget for it.
