Bus Services for Mines Labour Welfare Girls High School, Katha Misral

The Mines Labour Welfare Girls High School, Katha Misral in District Khushab is inviting bids for the provision of bus transportation services comprising two non-air-conditioned buses for student pick and drop operations. This procurement is being conducted through the Punjab E-Procurement System under the Single Stage Two Envelops Bidding Procedures as per PPRA Rules 2014. The estimated contract value and scope indicate a medium-scale transportation service requirement serving school students in the Khushab district of Punjab province.

Eligible bidders must be registered companies with valid National Tax Number (NTN), General Sales Tax (GST), and Pakistan Standard Time (PST) registration certificates on the Punjab E-Procurement System. Applicants are required to possess demonstrable experience in operation and maintenance of vehicles and must submit a bid security of Rs. 500,000 (Five Lac rupees only), representing five percent of the estimated contract cost. The technical proposal must include details of vehicle experience, list of major clients, organizational structure, total vehicle inventory with induction plan for specific routes, valid registration certificates, and fitness certificates issued by the Punjab Transport Department.

Bidders must submit technical and financial proposals on the Punjab E-Procurement System at https://ep.punjab.gov.pk/auth/login by 11 August 2026 at 11:00 AM. Technical proposals will be opened on the same date at 11:30 AM, with financial bids of technically qualified firms to follow. Financial proposals should be submitted in Pakistani Rupees using the per-day rate format provided in Annex-B. The procurement is governed by the Punjab Procurement Rules 2014 as amended. Bid security is released only after work award.

This is a straightforward two-bus transportation contract for a government school in Khushab. The Rs. 500,000 bid security and scope suggest a small-to-medium contract. Bidders must have NTN, GST and PST registration and demonstrate transport operations experience. The tight submission timeline (11 August 2026) and requirement for departmental fitness certificates indicate this is a regulated sector requirement. This appears to be a recurring annual or seasonal contract for school transport operations rather than a one-off procurement.

Who can bid: Bidders must hold valid NTN, GST, and PST registration and be registered on the Punjab E-Procurement System. Companies must demonstrate prior experience in vehicle operation and maintenance. The notice does not specify PEC category requirements as this is service procurement. Fitness certificates from Punjab Transport Department are mandatory.
