Tender Details
Description / Scope of Work
The Higher Education Commission (HEC), located in Sector H-9, Islamabad, Pakistan, invites qualified suppliers to participate in a pre-qualification process for the provision of stationery and contingent items. This procurement notice establishes the framework and procedures for suppliers to apply for pre-qualification to provide various stationery and related contingent materials to HEC. The pre-qualification process is designed to identify and evaluate competent suppliers capable of meeting HEC's requirements for stationery and contingent items on a regular or as-needed basis. The scope encompasses various categories of stationery products and contingent materials that support HEC's administrative and operational needs across its offices in Islamabad and potentially other locations.
Eligible suppliers must meet specific qualification and experience requirements as detailed in Section III of this pre-qualification document. Suppliers are required to submit comprehensive applications demonstrating their eligibility, financial capacity, technical capability, and relevant experience in supplying stationery and contingent items. The document specifies that suppliers must provide proof of registration, tax compliance, business credentials, and evidence of previous similar supply contracts. A performance guarantee and bid security will be required from pre-qualified suppliers before contract award. Sub-contracting is permitted only with prior approval from HEC, and all suppliers must comply with HEC's fraud and corruption policies.
Applications must be submitted in sealed envelopes with clear identification and in the English language. The deadline for submission is July 28, 2026. Interested suppliers should obtain complete pre-qualification documents from the Deputy Director (Services) at HEC using the provided contact details: telephone +92-51-9040-1516, 1519, or 1512; fax +92-51-9040-1502; or email mghiyas@hec.gov.pk. The official HEC website at http://www.hec.gov.pk provides additional information and updates. Application opening and evaluation will follow HEC's established procurement procedures, and pre-qualified suppliers will be notified of the outcome and invited to submit financial bids using the provided Bill of Quantities format.
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 pre-qualified stationery and contingent items suppliers through a framework agreement process.
This is a recurring, non-emergency procurement establishing an approved vendor panel rather than a one-off purchase—ideal for established distributors with consistent supply chains. Scale appears medium to large given HEC's federal footprint across Islamabad and potential expansion. The 18-month runway to July 2026 allows adequate preparation, but suppliers should note this is pre-qualification only; actual supply orders and volumes remain undefined. Contingent items scope is vague, suggesting flexibility in product categories during contract execution.
Who can bid: Typically, suppliers must be registered with SECP (if private company) or relevant authority, hold active NTN, and demonstrate tax compliance. The notice requires proof of registration, business credentials, and evidence of previous stationery/contingent supply contracts. Sub-contracting allowed only with prior HEC approval. No PEC category applies (non-construction). Fraud and corruption compliance is mandatory.
