Supply of Electrical Consumables by Institute of Business Administration

The Institute of Business Administration, Karachi invites quotations for the supply of electrical consumables under RFQ-003912. The procurement includes PVC pipes (600 feet), dammer tape (200 rolls), channel ducts in two sizes (130 units combined), rawl bolts (500 each), PVC tape (200 rolls), universal sockets (100 each), open PVC boxes in two configurations (300 units combined), and duplex sheet flat pins (80 each). All materials must conform to specified brands or equivalent standards, with delivery to the Stores at IBA Main Campus on University Road, Karachi. The quotation closing date is 3 August 2026 at 12:00 AM.

Eligible suppliers must provide quotations for the listed electrical consumables meeting IBA's technical specifications and quality standards. Several items require sampling submission to demonstrate compliance. The procurement is subject to material inspection at the time of delivery and IBA reserves discretion to award individual items to different lowest responsive bidders or consolidate awards. General Sales Tax applies to applicable items, and stamp duty of 0.35 percent will be levied on the total purchase order value.

Bid documents should be submitted to the Purchase Department, IBA Main Campus, University Road, Karachi, with contact via telephone 021-38104700, extension 2153. Payment will be made by crossed cheque following receipt of invoice and delivery. Delayed delivery incurs liquidity damage at 2 percent per month. Quotation rates are final and subject to IBA's right to cancel, modify quantities, or adjust specifications without assigning reason.

IBA seeks quotations for a mixed electrical consumables bundle totalling approximately 2,100 units across ten line items, including pipes, tapes, ducts, and switches. Most items are standard electrical materials; several items demand samples, adding compliance complexity. The August 2026 deadline is tight. Award is likely split across multiple suppliers for individual items rather than consolidated. Material inspection at delivery is mandatory. This appears a one-off procurement for campus maintenance rather than a framework contract.

Who can bid: Suppliers must be registered and capable of supplying electrical consumables to institutional standards. Specific licenses (PEC registration, SECP incorporation, or NTN) are not explicitly stated in the notice, but typically electrical goods suppliers in Pakistan must hold NTN and comply with GST registration. Suppliers submitting samples for tapes, boxes, and pins must ensure compliance with stated specifications.
