This is a one-year security services contract for an educational institution in Bahawalpur with total value of PKR 1.5 million. The bidder must hold an active Security Services License from Punjab's Home Department, making this a restricted tender—only licensed security firms can apply. The contract requires continuous staffing with immediate replacement capability for absentees, suggesting operational complexity. Government-mandated minimum salary rates apply, limiting margin flexibility. This is a recurring institutional service typical for schools but competition is likely limited to established licensed operators.
