A mid-sized civil works contract for corridor beautification and revamping in Bahawalpur valued at approximately Rs. 1.87 million. Restricted to PEC-registered contractors and EPAD firms. The tender uses the modern Punjab e-Procurement portal exclusively; bidders unfamiliar with digital submission should prepare accordingly. Completion is due within approximately two months from award. Standard bid security and performance guarantee requirements apply. This appears to be a one-off project rather than a framework contract.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with EPADs and hold PEC registration in appropriate categories for construction works. A valid National Tax Number (NTN) and SECP registration are typically required. Only registered firms and contractors meeting these criteria can participate; sole proprietors without formal registration are typically ineligible.
