Tender Details
Description / Scope of Work
Registration: Bidders must be active tax filers registered with the Sales Tax and Income Tax departments, and formally registered on the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (KP-PPRA) e-procurement portal (http://kp.eprocure.gov.pk). Bidders blacklisted by the Prisons Department are strictly ineligible. Earnest Money (Bid Security): A 2% Call Deposit Receipt (CDR) of the total estimated bid value from an authorized bank must be uploaded onto EPADS. The original hard copy of the CDR must be physically submitted to the office before the tender opens, failing which the bidder will face a 1-year disqualification penalty.
For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
Prisons Department KP is procuring food materials, medical supplies, and general store items across a broad commodity range.
The scale appears medium-to-large given the multi-category nature and government prison system scope. Critical issue: physical CDR submission before opening is mandatory with severe 1-year penalty for non-compliance—many bidders miss this dual-submission requirement. Long lead time to August 2026 suggests planned procurement, likely recurring annually. Bidders should verify current KP-PPRA portal registration status immediately.
Who can bid: Bidders must be active income/sales tax filers, formally registered on KP-PPRA e-procurement portal, and not blacklisted by Prisons Department. No PEC category specified (non-construction). NTN and SECP registration typically required for tax filer status. Previous blacklist history with this department is disqualifying.
