For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
LESCO is liquidating approximately 372 tonnes of iron and tower scrap across three Punjab grid stations.
Asset value ~PKR 1.2M suggests modest salvage operation, not a major industrial breakup. As-is-where-is disposal means buyer bears logistics and extraction risk; scrap inspection is feasible during work hours. Tight 7-month timeline from notice to closure is standard. This is a one-off asset clearance, not recurring procurement—suitable for scrap dealers or metal recyclers with handling capacity and transport access to remote grid stations.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered firms or individuals eligible for government procurement under PPRA-2004. Typically requires NTN, SECP registration (if company), and tax compliance. No specific PEC category mentioned; scrap sale does not mandate engineering license. Restrictions on foreign bidders or sectoral exclusions not stated in summary.
