Tender Details
Description / Scope of Work
Pakistan Infrastructure Development Company Limited (PIDCL), operating under the Ministry of Housing & Works, Government of Pakistan, has invited bids through the online E-PADS platform for the supply, installation and commissioning of a passenger lift at its Head Office in Islamabad. The tender is being procured under the Single Stage One Envelope Procurement method as defined in PPRA Rules 36(a) 2004 (as amended). The lift specifications call for a capacity of 630 KG, four stops, and an operating speed of 1.0 metre per second, indicating a small-scale, single-unit installation contract rather than a large infrastructure project.
Only firms holding valid registration with the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) in the appropriate category and specialized field are eligible to bid. The required PEC category is C-6 and above, with specialization codes ME-03 and EE-11(vi), reflecting the mechanical and electrical nature of lift installation works. Bidders must also possess valid registration with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and be compliant with Sales Tax and other applicable taxes, where relevant, before submitting their offers.
Interested and eligible contractors must submit their bids online through the E-PADS platform by 11:00 am on 10-08-2026, with bid opening scheduled the same day at 11:30 am. Detailed Bills of Quantities (BOQs) and technical specifications are available in the tender documents on the E-PADS system. All applicable government taxes shall be borne by the bidder, as explicitly noted in the tender notice. Prospective bidders are advised to register on E-PADS well in advance to ensure timely and valid submission of bids.
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 low-value, single-location procurement for one passenger lift, suited to small and mid-sized mechanical/electrical contractors rather than large construction firms. The dual PEC specialization requirement (mechanical ME-03 and electrical EE-11(vi)) may narrow the pool of eligible bidders, since firms need combined competency in lift supply, civil integration and electrical commissioning. As a one-off government office fit-out rather than a recurring contract, follow-on work is unlikely, so bidders should price it as a standalone job with no assumption of repeat business.
Who can bid: Bidders must hold PEC registration in category C-6 or above with specialization codes ME-03 and EE-11(vi), reflecting mechanical and electrical lift works. FBR and Sales Tax registration is also required. Typically, government tenders of this nature also require an NTN, company registration with SECP or relevant authority, and submission of bid security, though this is not explicitly stated here.
