For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
HEC seeks annual supply of four commodity categories (electrical, plumbing, carpentry, paint items) across two premises for 2026–2027.
Scale appears medium based on multi-category, dual-location, year-long supply contract. Notable: strict venue requirement (Islamabad/Rawalpindi office mandatory), EPADS-only submission with tight 1:30 PM deadline, and integrity pact requirement. Least Cost Based evaluation favours competitive pricing over technical differentiation. One-year recurring contract implies stable demand but no volume estimates provided.
Who can bid: Must be Active Taxpayer (FBR list), valid GST-registered, NTN-holding. Mandatory representative office in Islamabad or Rawalpindi. EPADS v2.0 registration required. Prior experience supplying similar items required but specificity not detailed. Typically, PEC registration not mentioned; goods procurement likely excludes construction classification.
