This procurement is conducted under the Punjab Procurement Rules 2014 through the e-Procurement System Punjab at www.ep.punjab.gov.pk, and bidders must be registered with relevant tax authorities and hold professional tax certificates for FY 2025-26.

This is a large-scale procurement split into five separate lots totaling approximately PKR 19.84 million for furnishings and miscellaneous items for a new academy facility. Bidders can participate in one or multiple lots independently. The tight closing deadline (August 2026) and requirement for strict technical compliance across diverse product categories—from textiles to carpets to office equipment—suggests bidders should have established supply chains and quality certification. The 180-day price validity period and 10 percent performance guarantee are standard; notably, all lots appear suitable for local manufacturers and authorized distributors rather than exclusively imported goods.

Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with FBR (Income Tax), GST, and Punjab Sales Tax authorities, hold professional tax certificates for FY 2025-26, and be registered on the e-Procurement System. Typically, manufacturers or authorized dealers of the specified product categories are preferred. Previous experience in the relevant field is mandatory. No specific PEC or professional body registration is stated, though traders and distributors with sound financial standing are explicitly eligible.
