Tender Details
Description / Scope of Work
The Tarbela Fourth Extension Hydropower Project, a federally executed initiative in Pakistan financed under World Bank credit IDA-50790, has published a Contract Award notice under reference PK-T4EXT-285197-SLTDP-RFQ. The contract covers the purchase of scientific laboratory equipment intended for schools and colleges, procured through the Request for Quotations (RFQ) method as part of the project's social and educational development component. The notice was published on July 17, 2026, and the notification of award was originally issued on February 27, 2023, with a contract duration of 15 days.
As this is a completed award notice rather than an open bidding opportunity, no further eligibility criteria, bid security, or document submission requirements are stated for prospective bidders at this stage. The winning bidder was selected based on price evaluation under standard World Bank procurement guidelines applicable to IDA-financed contracts, which typically require registered suppliers with valid tax and business registration credentials.
The contract was awarded to AM Enterprises, based in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, with a bid price at opening, evaluated bid price, and signed contract price all recorded at PKR 4,918,615.00. Interested parties seeking similar future opportunities under the Tarbela Fourth Extension Hydropower Project can monitor the World Bank's projects and operations procurement portal for upcoming RFQs and tender notices related to this project.
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 retrospective contract award notice, not an open tender, so no bidding is currently possible under this reference. The awarded value of roughly PKR 4.9 million and a 15-day delivery window indicate a small, one-off supply contract for lab equipment rather than a recurring framework deal. SMEs supplying scientific or educational equipment should watch for future RFQs under the same World Bank-financed hydropower project, as similar small-value education-linked procurement packages may recur across project phases.
Who can bid: The notice does not specify eligibility criteria since it documents an already-awarded contract. Typically, suppliers of scientific laboratory equipment under World Bank IDA-financed RFQs require NTN and GST/sales tax registration, an active business license, and demonstrated capacity to supply and deliver equipment within short timelines.
