Operation & Maintenance Works for Abkalani Drainage – Mirpurkhas

The Drainage Division Mirpurkhas, under the Irrigation Department of the Government of Sindh, is procuring Operation and Maintenance (O&M) works for Abkalani drainage system for the financial years 2026-27 and 2027-28. The procurement covers materials, repair, and replacement parts for government vehicles, maintenance of pump panel components for saline and fresh tube wells, repair of transformers, electric motors, and other essential items required for sustained operation of drainage infrastructure. The total allocated budget is Rs. 100,804,000, comprising Rs. 56,254,000 for Fund Head SC21127 (Irrigation) A 13503-Drainage and Rs. 44,550,000 for Fund Head SC21127 A13-Total Repair & Maintenance A-13470 (Others). Works are to be executed in Mirpurkhas, located in Sindh province, with completion targeted by 30 June 2027.

The procurement will be conducted through the Single Stage, Two Envelope tender method as per Sindh Public Procurement Rules 2010 (amended 2019). Multiple tenders will be floated during fiscal year 2026-27 at different dates for each work package. A Complaint Redressal Committee has been constituted comprising the Project Director LBOD Project Hyderabad (Chairman), Divisional Accounts Officer (Member/Secretary), and Resident Engineer Hingorno Project of Associated Consulting Engineers A.C.E (Member) to address bidder grievances and settle disputes transparently. A Procurement Committee has also been established with the Executive Engineer Drainage Division Mirpurkhas as Chairman, Assistant Executive Engineer Drainage Sub Division KGM as Member/Secretary, and Mr. Ali Raza Sehro, Executive Engineer Public Health Engineering Division (O&M) Mirpurkhas, as Member, responsible for financial evaluation, bid evaluation reporting, and award recommendations.

Bid documents and tender details will be made available as tenders are floated during the fiscal year. Bidders should monitor announcements from the Irrigation Department Government of Sindh or the Sindh Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (SPPRA) website for tender floating dates, submission deadlines, and bid opening schedules. Inquiries regarding tender documentation, submission procedures, and technical requirements should be directed to the Executive Engineer, Drainage Division Mirpurkhas, at the office address or contact details provided by the Irrigation Department. All submissions must comply with SPPRA Rules 2010 (amended 2019) and relevant procurement procedures.

This is a recurring O&M contract worth over Rs. 100 million covering vehicle maintenance, pump parts, transformer and motor repairs for drainage systems in Mirpurkhas over two years. Multiple tenders will float during 2026-27 at different dates, suggesting a phased procurement strategy rather than a single large bid. Bidders should expect maintenance-focused suppliers and workshop operators to be primary competitors. The two-envelope single-stage method suggests moderate complexity; no pre-bid meeting or technical specifications are detailed in the notice, indicating clearer documents will accompany individual tender floats.

Who can bid: Typically, suppliers and contractors providing O&M services for irrigation infrastructure must be registered with relevant authorities (NTN/SECP), hold valid business licenses, and demonstrate experience with similar maintenance and repair works. PEC registration may be required depending on mechanical/electrical components involved. Specific eligibility criteria and pre-qualification requirements will be detailed in individual tender documents when floated.
