Annual framework contract for winter and spring flower seed supply to a provincial horticultural authority—Rs.
35.7M estimated value suggests medium-scale recurring procurement. Delivery concentrated at single Lahore location reduces logistics complexity. Framework structure implies multi-year relationship potential; however, 15% quantity variance clause introduces planning uncertainty. Tight closure timeline (28 July 2026) and mandatory e-procurement platform use require immediate portal registration and document preparation.
Who can bid: Bidders must be authorized distributors, registered dealers, or importers with valid income tax and sales tax registrations. Performance Guarantee required per PPRA rules. No specific PEC category mandated. Typically, suppliers should also hold relevant provincial trade licenses and demonstrate financial soundness through bank statements or audited accounts.
