PMDC seeks a single contractor for rock salt transportation and unloading at Khewra mines, a recurring operational service. The contract scope spans movement from the main mine site to both the central depot and LCI basins, suggesting moderate logistics complexity with multiple delivery points. No contract value or tonnage quantum is disclosed in this notice excerpt, making scale assessment uncertain. The single-stage envelope process and 2026 date indicate this is a current or future procurement; bidders should verify equipment readiness for bulk mineral handling and confirm experience with hazardous material logistics in the mining sector.

Typically, transportation and mining logistics contractors must hold valid business registration (SECP), active tax clearance (FBR/NTN), relevant transport permits and machinery certifications. PEC registration is not required as this is not construction. PMDC may impose experience thresholds for similar contracts.
