For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
PSW seeks renewal of annual support and maintenance for Veeam backup infrastructure, a mission-critical renewal contract rather than new deployment. The procurement follows standard federal rules via EPADS 2.0, requiring prior supplier registration. Timeline is tight: clarifications due 3rd August, bids due 11th August 2026. This is an established service renewal, suggesting the incumbent or qualified alternatives are eligible. Scale appears medium given enterprise backup scope; no budget ceiling is published in the notice.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered on EPADS 2.0 as experienced IT firms. The notice does not specify PEC category, NTN, or SECP registration; typically for IT service contracts of this nature, vendors must be registered with the relevant tax authority (FBR) and hold valid SECP registration if incorporated. Local or foreign firms may be eligible if EPADS-registered.
