Electronic Equipment Procurement for National Health Support Program Project Office

This is a contract award notice for procurement of electronic equipment required for the establishment of a project office under the National Health Support Program (Project ID P172615), a World Bank-funded initiative in Pakistan. The procurement was conducted using the Request for Quotations method and was financed through IDA Credit IDA-71490 and multiple trust fund sources (TF-B8491, TF-B8974, TF-C1020). The contract has been awarded to AK TRADERS, a Pakistani supplier based in Islamabad, Federal region, for a value of PKR 2,333,900.00. The scope encompasses supply and delivery of electronic equipment necessary for establishing the functional project office at the Federal level.

Eligibility for bidding under such World Bank-funded procurements typically requires suppliers to be registered with the relevant tax authority (NTN registration with FBR), hold valid business registration, and maintain compliance with Pakistan's regulatory framework. Bidders must not be blacklisted by the World Bank or involved in any debarred entity list. Bid security requirements and technical specifications would have been outlined in the original tender document issued prior to this award notice.

The contract award was notified on July 25, 2025, with a contract duration of 60 days for completion and delivery. The procurement notice was published on July 27, 2026 on the World Bank procurement portal. Interested parties seeking future procurement opportunities under this program or similar World Bank projects in Pakistan should monitor the World Bank's official procurement website and register with relevant government departments to receive tender notifications.

This is a completed contract award (notified July 2025, published July 2026) for supply of electronic office equipment valued at approximately USD 8,800–9,200 (at typical PKR exchange rates). The contract has already been awarded to AK TRADERS of Islamabad with a 60-day delivery window. The relatively modest budget and straightforward scope suggest routine office equipment (computers, printers, networking devices). For future similar procurements under the National Health Support Program, suppliers should ensure NTN registration and World Bank compliance before bidding.

Who can bid: Suppliers must typically hold valid NTN registration with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), maintain active business registration under SECP or relevant provincial authority, and have no listing on World Bank debarred or blacklisted entities. Pakistani-registered businesses are eligible; no PEC certification required for supply contracts.
