Procurement of Office Furniture by State Life H&AI Peshawar Office KPK

State Life Insurance Corporation of Pakistan, through its Health & Accidental Insurance (H&AI) Zonal Office in Peshawar, KPK, has invited sealed e-bids for the procurement of office furniture for office use at the H&AI Peshawar office, under tender reference SLIC/H&AI/PESH/HR&ADMIN/30/2026. The tender follows the Single Stage Two Envelope Procedure as per PPRA rules and is being conducted exclusively through the EPADS e-procurement platform, meaning quotations submitted outside EPADS will not be entertained. The scope includes supply and installation of office furniture along with 8mm glass with laser etched SLIC logo and design on applicable tables.

Eligible bidders must be Vendors or General Order Suppliers registered with EPAD, GST and Income Tax Department, possessing their own offices and verifiable phone/fax contact details. Bidders are required to quote for all items listed; partial or incomplete bids will be rejected. A bid security of 5 percent of the total quoted price must be submitted in original form as a Pay Order or Bank Draft in favor of State Life Insurance Corporation of Pakistan before the tender closing time, failing which the bid will be rejected. Attendance at the compulsory pre-bid meeting, scheduled through EPADS, is mandatory for bid consideration.

Tender documents containing item specifications can be obtained from the H&AI office during office hours, and hard copies of bid documents must also reach the office before the closing date and time. Sealed bids must reach the office by 20-08-2026 at 03:00 PM and will be opened the same day at 03:30 PM at Health & Accident Insurance, State Life Building, Mall Road, Peshawar, in the presence of bidders or their representatives. For queries, bidders may contact the Secretary, Zonal Procurement Committee at 091-9213949 or amanmohmand@yahoo.com.

This is a one-off, modest-scale office furniture supply contract for a single insurance zonal office rather than a large institutional rollout, so bulk manufacturers and local furniture suppliers in Peshawar are best positioned. The compulsory pre-bid meeting and mandatory full-scope bidding (no partial quotes) narrow the field, and the added requirement for laser-etched branded glass panels means bidders need in-house or subcontracted glass engraving capability, raising entry cost for smaller vendors.

Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with EPAD, GST and Income Tax Department, maintain their own office with phone/fax, and quote for all tendered items. Manufacturers are exempt from submitting installation invoices but must self-install. Typically NTN and SECP/business registration would also be expected for such supply tenders.
