One-year security guard staffing contract for a government vocational institute in Bahawalpur, valued at ~Rs.
941k. Scale is modest but recurring annually if renewed. Bidder must comply with Punjab minimum wage rates—verify current rates before costing, as this often compresses margins on guard contracts. E-procurement-only submission with tight closing (12 Aug 2026) requires immediate system registration. Single-stage bidding reduces proposal complexity but offers no clarification stage.
Who can bid: NTN and GST registration mandatory. Minimum one year prior security services experience required. Valid security services license must be held—verify issuing authority (typically Police or Home Department). Appears open to registered private security contractors; government employees typically ineligible.
