For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
GIK Institute is establishing a prequalified supplier roster for recurring food procurement—fresh produce (fruits, vegetables, meat) and dry groceries (spices, pulses, rice, grains).
This is a framework tender, not a one-time buy; successful prequalification leads to subsequent competitive bidding. Scale appears medium (institutional canteen/dining). The 5-year experience requirement and institutional references suggest GIK expects established suppliers. Note the tight closing (mid-2026), non-refundable Rs. 2,000 fee per category applied for, and that only prequalified bidders advance—screening is rigorous.
Who can bid: Must hold valid NTN and GST registration with tax authorities. Minimum 5 years documented experience supplying food to reputable institutions, universities, hotels, or similar. Applicants may bid one or both categories. No PEC category applies (non-construction). Typically, sole proprietorships require CNIC/NTN; companies need SECP registration plus NTN/GST.
