Framework Contract for Stationery, Equipment, Vehicle Parts and Building Repair by City Traffic Police Rawalpindi

The City Traffic Police, Rawalpindi, operating under the Chief Traffic Office, has issued a framework contract tender for the financial year 2026-2027 covering nineteen distinct procurement categories including office stationery, printing materials, stitching materials, computer stationery, electric and sanitary items, cleaning items, diet and lunch box supplies, road safety items, IT equipment, plant and machinery, furniture and fixtures, general store items, vehicle and motorcycle repair, denting and painting, spare parts, batteries, tyres and tubes, repair of machinery and equipment, repair of furniture and fixtures, and repair or renovation of Traffic Police buildings, with individual estimated costs ranging from Rs 0.60 million to Rs 12.00 million and a combined estimated value exceeding Rs 58 million, to be executed in Punjab province.

Only firms registered for GST or PST and Income or Withholding Tax are eligible to participate. Bidders must submit a bid security equal to 3 percent of the estimated cost of each category through a CDR, uploaded electronically via the Punjab e-Procurement System. Successful firms are required to maintain quoted rates and supply quality for the entire contract period until 30 June 2027, and the lowest bidder's security will be converted into a performance guarantee upon award.

Bidding documents are available free of charge on the PPRA Punjab website, the City Traffic Police Rawalpindi website, and the Punjab e-Procurement System. Interested firms must upload their bids electronically by 05 August 2026, and bids will be opened the same day at 11:00 AM through the e-Procurement System in the presence of the procurement committee and bidders' representatives. For queries, contact the Chief Traffic Officer, Rawalpindi at 051-9273678 or fax 051-9273647.

This is a large multi-category annual rate contract rather than a single purchase, meaning winning bidders lock in supply obligations through mid-2027 at fixed rates, exposing them to price risk if input costs rise. The spread across stationery, IT, vehicle parts, and building repair suggests the police department wants a diversified vendor pool, so SMEs can bid selectively on categories matching their core business rather than the whole list. Electronic bidding via Punjab's e-Procurement portal is mandatory.

Who can bid: Bidders must hold valid GST or PST and Income or Withholding Tax registration as explicitly stated. For repair or renovation of buildings, contractors typically also require relevant PEC registration and municipal or works department licensing, though this notice does not explicitly mention PEC categorization.
