For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
This is a recurring annual canteen operation contract, likely attractive to small and medium catering or canteen operators already serving public sector institutions given the mandatory three-year government experience requirement. The reserve price of over Rs. 4.6 million combined with a hefty CDR of Rs. 467,041 sets a moderately high entry barrier, filtering out very small vendors. The tight timeline (issuance and submission closing on the same day, auction three days later) demands bidders have documentation like police clearance and bank statements ready in advance.
Who can bid: Bidders must hold at least a B Category Contractor License, have minimum three years experience with Government institutions, valid NTN in the bidding entity name, and not be blacklisted or defaulters. Typically Sales Tax registration and Punjab Police clearance are also required for canteen/catering contracts of this nature.
