The Executive Engineer, Thatta Drainage Division, Sindh invites electronic bids on rate contract basis for the procurement of annual Abkalani materials, goods and services, and maintenance or job works along drains in Thatta for the financial year 2026-27. The scope covers provision of materials and labour for drainage maintenance across the Thatta region, with an estimated bid security of Rs.2,475,000 and tender fees of Rs.3,000. This is a framework rate contract engagement expected to remain valid until 30-06-2027, allowing the procuring authority flexibility in calling off materials and services as required throughout the contract period.

Eligible bidders must hold valid registration with Pakistan Engineering Council in a relevant category, active NTN certificates with clearance from the Federal Board of Revenue, and registration with the Sindh Revenue Board with active status and clearance. Firms must demonstrate relevant experience in drainage or similar works, maintain an average annual turnover of at least Rs.20 million over the preceding three years, and submit undertakings confirming no blacklisting or litigation with government departments. Each page of bidding documents must be numbered, signed and stamped by the firm's owner. All bids must be accompanied by call deposit of Rs.2,475,000 from any scheduled bank of Pakistan in favour of the Executive Engineer, Thatta Drainage Division.

Bidding documents are available for download from the SPPRA e-procurement portal at https://portalsindh.eprocure.gov.pk. Tenders will be received until 18-08-2026 at 12:30 PM and opened the same day at 1:00 PM in the presence of the procurement committee and participating contractors. The bidding process follows single-stage two-envelope national competitive bidding methodology. No amendments to bidding documents are permitted after submission, and bid security from third-party or unrelated accounts will render bids non-responsive.

This is a rate contract for annual supply and maintenance of drainage materials and labour in Thatta for 2026-27. The contract remains flexible over twelve months, allowing the department to draw materials and services as needed rather than committing to a fixed lump sum. Turnover threshold of Rs.20 million and PEC registration are mandatory; competitors should note the Rs.2.475 million call deposit requirement is non-refundable and must come from the bidder's own bank account. The tight two-week pre-bid window and 30-June-2027 validity suggest standard annual procurement for routine drainage upkeep.

Who can bid: Bidders must hold Pakistan Engineering Council registration in a relevant category, active NTN and FBR clearance certificates, and Sindh Revenue Board registration with active status. Average annual turnover of at least Rs.20 million over three years is mandatory. Undertakings confirming no blacklisting, litigation with government, or pre-bargaining with NAB are required. Only named call deposits from the bidder's own scheduled bank account are accepted.
