Security Services Outsourcing by Lahore College for Women University

Lahore College for Women University, Lahore invites electronic bids for the outsourcing of security services under Punjab Procurement Rules 2014 on a framework basis. The tender encompasses the provision of security and general services with an estimated annual cost of 16.8 million Pakistani rupees, requiring deployment of twenty-five security staff plus one additional position at the university campus in Lahore, Punjab. The scope includes comprehensive security management and guarding services as detailed in the bidding documents, with a contract duration extending across the financial year.

This is a framework-basis re-tender for security services outsourcing at an educational institution with an annual budget of 16.8 million rupees. The requirement is for 25 to 26 security personnel, indicating a substantial ongoing operation rather than a one-time engagement. Bidders must comply with notified minimum wage rates, all applicable taxes, and statutory contributions including PESSI and EOBI. The tight closing timeline (single-stage two-envelope e-bidding) suggests the university is moving quickly to fill a service gap, making this a valuable recurring contract for established security service providers with proper compliance infrastructure.

Who can bid: Bidders must be firms, companies, or sole proprietors engaged in security and general services, registered with relevant authorities and both Income Tax and Sales Tax departments. Typically, security service providers must have valid registration from SECP or appropriate business registration body, active NTN and GST registration, and compliance with labour department requirements. No specific PEC certification is mentioned, but demonstrated experience in providing security services is implicit.
