Pakistan Kidney & Liver Institute and Research Center (PKLI & RC), Lahore invites pre-qualification applications from firms and contractors for HVAC plant room modification works. This pre-qualification process is announced under reference PRO-101-2026 and is intended to establish a panel of qualified contractors for a one-year contract period, extendable upon mutual consent of both parties. The scope encompasses HVAC plant room modifications at the PKLI & RC facility located in Lahore, Punjab, with work to be executed in accordance with PPRA Rules 2014.

Eligible applicants must be properly registered firms or contractors with relevant experience in HVAC mechanical systems and plant room modifications. The pre-qualification process operates under a single-stage, one-envelope procedure. Interested parties should obtain the complete pre-qualification documents from the PKLI website at https://pkli.org.pk/tenders/ or from the PPRA portal at www.ppra.punjasb.gov.pk and https://ep.punjab.gov.pk/. The bid validity period is 180 days from the date of opening. A pre-bid meeting will be held on 23 July 2026 at 11:00 AM for prospective applicants to clarify requirements and specifications.

PKLI seeks pre-qualified HVAC contractors for a one-year plant room modification contract in Lahore. This is a framework pre-qualification rather than a single project tender, meaning successful bidders will be called upon for multiple works during the contract period. The tight submission deadline (12 August 2026) and mandatory pre-bid meeting (23 July 2026) suggest the institute is moving quickly. HVAC plant room work is specialized — bidders need demonstrated experience with mechanical systems, ductwork, and equipment installation in healthcare environments where temperature and air quality control are critical.

Who can bid: Applicants must be registered firms or contractors with experience in HVAC and mechanical works. Typically, firms should hold valid NTN registration, relevant business registration from SECP, and PEC membership or similar professional recognition for mechanical/HVAC works. The notice does not specify minimum PEC category or turnover thresholds, so eligibility criteria will be clarified at the pre-bid meeting.
