The Office of PD GSC FESCO (Faisalabad Electric Supply Company) has issued Tender No.15 for construction of electrical equipment foundations and allied civil works required for installation of a Capacitor Bay at the 132KV Grid Station in Jaranwala City, Punjab. The procurement reference number is P63515 and it is planned under FY 2026-27 funds reserved by FESCO. This is a national competitive procurement of civil works to be conducted through Single Stage-One Envelope bidding procedure using the Least Cost Based Selection technique in line with the Public Procurement Rules, 2004. The works involve civil and structural foundation construction to support electrical grid station equipment upgradation. Interested and eligible bidders must submit sealed bids accompanied by a bid security in the form of Pay Order, Banker's Cheque, Call Deposit Receipt or Demand Draft, or alternatively a bid securing declaration as per the format specified in the bidding document. Bidders must be registered on the e-Pak Acquisition and Disposal System (EPADS v2.0) to participate and access complete terms, conditions and specifications.

This is a localized civil works contract limited to foundation construction for a single capacitor bay installation, suggesting a relatively small to medium scale project compared to full grid station builds. Contractors with electrical substation civil experience and PEC registration in relevant categories should find this accessible. Being processed via EPADS v2.0 signals a shift toward mandatory e-bidding, so bidders unfamiliar with the portal should register early to avoid submission delays near the closing date.

Who can bid: The notice does not specify a PEC category, but civil works of this nature typically require PEC registration in a relevant civil/electrical works category, valid NTN, and GST registration. Bidders typically also need EPADS v2.0 registration to participate, as explicitly stated in the notice.
