Feed Mill Ingredients and Animal Feed Stuff Supply by Livestock Research & Development Station Swabi

The Livestock Research and Development Station Swabi, located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, invites sealed e-bids through the EPADS system from reputed firms and suppliers registered with the Federal Board of Revenue for GST and income tax purposes. The procurement covers supply of feed mill ingredients and animal feed stuff including wheat straw, maize silage, wanda compound animal feed, and other laboratory feed ingredients for the financial year 2026-27. The tender encompasses feed required for regular budget operations at three locations: the main station in Swabi, the Directorate of Livestock Research and Development in Lower Dir, and the Veterinary Research Institute in Peshawar. Bidders must be registered as active tax payers with the Federal Board of Revenue and hold valid trade and professional tax certificates along with non-blacklisting certification from government departments.

Eligible bidders must submit bids accompanied by earnest money in the form of valid Call Deposit Receipts as bid security. For wheat straw bids, the security is fixed at PKR 50,000; for maize silage and wanda compound feed, PKR 100,000 each. Bidders are required to provide copies of CNIC of firm owners, authorization letters for authorized representatives, valid contact details, FBR GST and income tax certificates, proof of active tax payer status, and affidavits on stamp paper certifying no government litigation or blacklisting. All bids must be computer-typed in both figures and words; hand-written bids are not acceptable. Income tax and sales tax registration certificates plus trade and professional tax certificates are compulsory enclosures.

Bid documents can be downloaded from EPADS approved websites, the KPPRA website, and the department website. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for 30 July 2026 at the Director's office in Peshawar where bidders may clarify queries. Tender submission and technical bid opening occurs on 11 August 2026 with financial bid opening at 12:00 PM the same day. E-bids must be uploaded on the EPADS system with original CDR reaching the office by 10:00 AM on closing date. Successful bidders must sign contract agreements on judicial stamp paper and complete supply within 30 days from order issuance, with rates remaining valid until 30 June 2027. Contact the Director, Livestock Research and Development, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Peshawar for further information.

This is a recurring annual tender for supply of livestock feed ingredients to three government research and veterinary institutions across KPK. The estimated scale is medium, with three separate commodity categories (straw, silage, compound feed) and relatively modest bid security amounts suggesting moderate contract values. The tender follows a single-stage e-procurement procedure with tight timelines between pre-bid meeting (30 July) and submission (11 August). Bidders must be FBR-registered and hold clean tax and litigation records; there is no apparent geographic or firm-size restriction. Supply obligation extends through June 2027, making this a recurring arrangement rather than one-off purchase.

Who can bid: Suppliers must be registered with FBR as active income tax payers with valid GST registration. Trade and professional tax certificates in the relevant category are compulsory. Bidders must not be blacklisted by any government organization and must have no outstanding litigation with government departments. Firms must provide CNIC of owner, authorization letter for representatives, and valid contact details (landline, mobile, email). Typically, animal feed suppliers should also meet quality standards set by recognized laboratories such as Center of Animal Nutrition or similar nationally recognized bodies.
