This is a non-development procurement of agricultural commodity (wheat straw) for a provincial livestock unit. Scale appears small to medium based on single-location delivery. The bidder must be tax-registered and capable of supplying threshed, quality straw. Notable requirement: one sample must accompany the bid for technical committee evaluation before financial bids are opened. Bid validity extends to June 2027, suggesting potential for contract extension. Competition likely limited to local agricultural suppliers with institutional credibility.

Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with Income Tax and Sales Tax authorities. Sole proprietors, firms, associations, JVs and general order suppliers are eligible if registered for this commodity and not blacklisted. Bidders must provide certified Income Tax and Sales Tax registration certificates. Typical procurement rules require National Tax Number (NTN) and active sales tax registration.
