PITB seeks a complete, integrated public address system for its flagship Lahore technology park—a turnkey procurement involving design, supply, installation, testing, and two-year warranty. The scale appears medium to large given the campus nature of ASTP and integration requirements across multiple floors and zones. Bidders must demonstrate prior experience with integrated PA installations in large commercial or institutional settings. Key competitive factors are total cost of ownership, technical design flexibility, and post-installation support capability. This is a one-off capital project with fixed delivery and commissioning timelines.

Who can bid: Bidders must typically be registered with SECP as limited companies or sole proprietorships with valid NTN and tax registration. Manufacturers or authorized distributors of PA equipment meeting Pakistani and international standards (IEC, ISO) are preferred. Experience certificates from past projects and technical certifications from equipment suppliers required. Standard bid security and performance guarantee stipulated in contract conditions apply.
