Two separate lots for furniture (PKR 9.78M) and IT equipment (PKR 24.39M) from a public university. The procurement follows two-envelope single-stage procedure with 2% bid security required. Bidders must be ATL-listed with active tax status and possess manufacturer warranties of minimum one year. The tight 30-minute prior submission requirement for physical bid security evidence and affidavit creates administrative complexity. This appears to be a one-off institutional purchase rather than a framework contract, typical for university infrastructure expansion.

Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with NTN and Sales Tax authorities with active ATL status from the Federal Board of Revenue. Suppliers must be reputable firms, manufacturers, or authorized dealers. Registration with Punjab e-Procurement System is mandatory. Typically, bidders for furniture and IT equipment procurement must also demonstrate relevant business experience and financial viability, though the notice does not explicitly state these requirements.
