These are primarily electrical and infrastructure development works across multiple locations in District Mardan.

Items must comply with Pakistan Engineering Council specifications. Bid security is required: contractors bidding up to 10 percent below engineer estimate submit 2 percent of estimate; those bidding 10-20 percent below submit 8 percent additional security plus 2 percent bid security; bids exceeding 20 percent below require detailed rate analysis and additional security equal to the differential amount plus 2 percent bid security. All material testing and tests are performed by the contractor at the procuring entity's cost.

Bidding documents are available from the official LPADS website and must follow the Single Stage Single Envelope procedure outlined in KPPRA Circular No. S.R.O.

Four electrical and infrastructure schemes totaling 140 million rupees across District Mardan under the provincial ADP. The projects span beautification works in four separate union councils plus solar street lighting installation, representing mid-scale distributed contracts rather than a single large site. Tight submission deadline (10 August 2026 at 11:00 AM) leaves limited time for bid preparation. Multiple bid security tiers apply based on discount depth, with significant additional security required for aggressive bidding. Contractor testing costs add to project risk.

Who can bid: Bidders must hold current KPRA and PEC registration, valid NTN, and FBR active taxpayer status for the current financial year. Items must meet Pakistan Engineering Council specifications. Contractors typically require appropriate PEC categorization for electrical works and demonstrated relevant experience.
