Seven separate framework contracts for police supplies totalling 71.6 million rupees are being awarded on a FOR basis. This is a recurring annual procurement covering stationery, printing, miscellaneous stores (beds, sports, tents, dietary, IT equipment), plant and machinery, building repairs, equipment repairs and vehicle maintenance. Bidders must be registered with tax authorities and cannot be blacklisted. The 30-day submission window and simultaneous opening suggest moderate competition. Individual contract values range from 4 to 20 million rupees, making this accessible to medium-sized suppliers rather than only large corporations.

Who can bid: Bidders must be well-reputed and financially sound firms with previous supply experience. Registration is mandatory with Income Tax, Sales Tax and Punjab Sales Tax Departments. Blacklist status with District Police Hafizabad or PPRA disqualifies applicants. An affidavit confirming non-blacklist status must be submitted on 100-rupee stamp paper. Typically for government framework contracts, bidders are also expected to hold valid business registration and insurance coverage.
