Procurement of Tow Truck 20-33 KN by Heavy Industries Taxila

Heavy Industries Taxila, through its Supply Chain Management Directorate located in Taxila Cantt, Punjab, is inviting sealed bids for the procurement of one Tow Truck with a capacity of 20-33 KN to be supplied in lieu of a Fork Lifter. This is a single-stage, two-envelope tender process conducted on a FOR (Free on Rail) basis. The tender inquiry is referenced as IT-6606/NEVF/26-27 and encompasses pages 1-59 of the bid document. Eligible firms are required to submit separate technical and commercial proposals within a single envelope in accordance with the Standard Bidding Document guidelines.

Participating bidders must be registered entities eligible to supply mechanical equipment to government institutions. The tender requires submission of bid security or earnest money as specified in the bid data sheet, along with certificates of eligibility and technical qualifications demonstrating prior experience in supply of similar tow truck equipment. Non-disclosure agreements and integrity pacts must be signed by bidders. Bank guarantees for advance payment and performance warranty are mandatory requirements upon contract award.

Bid documents are available from the Supply Chain Management Directorate, Taxila Cantt. Sealed bids must be submitted by 21 August 2026 at 1030 hours, with public bid opening scheduled for the same date at 1100 hours. Interested firms may contact the directorate for clarification on tender clauses and technical specifications. The procurement process follows established government procurement regulations and evaluation will be based on criteria outlined in Annexure B of the tender document.

Heavy Industries Taxila seeks a single tow truck (20-33 KN capacity) as a replacement unit—a straightforward, likely small-value procurement. The tight 35-day submission window requires immediate document preparation. This appears to be a one-off replacement rather than a framework contract; bidders should verify exact technical specifications (engine type, lifting mechanism, towing speed) against their product range, as the notice references but does not detail those specs in this cover section. FOR delivery terms shift logistics responsibility to the supplier.

Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with relevant government authorities and demonstrate prior experience supplying mechanical equipment to government clients. Typically, suppliers must hold valid business registration (SECP/NTN), valid PEC membership if applicable, and audited accounts. The notice does not exclude foreign bidders but implies Pakistani suppliers. Bank guarantees and performance bonds are mandatory post-award.
