Diesel Locomotive Workshop Services – Pakistan Railways Rawalpindi

Pakistan Railways, Central Diesel Locomotive Workshop Rawalpindi invites technical and financial proposals under a Single Stage Two Envelope tender procedure (PPR-2004) for procurement of goods or services as detailed in the tender specification. The tender reference is 494-W/201/20-LTE/RSD and is applicable to the workshop located in Rawalpindi, Punjab province. Bidders are required to submit sealed bids containing separate technical and financial proposals, with the technical proposal evaluated first against specified criteria before financial proposals of technically acceptable bids are opened and compared.

Bidders must be registered with relevant tax authorities (Sales Tax and National Tax Number) and preferably with the Central Contractor Pool (CCP) office if available. Earnest money equivalent to 2 percent of the tender value must accompany each bid submission. Bids must include confirmation that goods or services will conform exactly to Railway specifications and be brand new. The tender validity period is sixty days from the due date of tender opening, and bidders warrant not to withdraw or modify offers during this period except where modifications are acceptable to the Railway.

Bid documents can be obtained from the Works Manager/Diesel office at the Central Diesel Locomotive Workshop Rawalpindi. Sealed bids must be submitted to the same office, marked clearly as "FINANCIAL PROPOSAL" and "TECHNICAL PROPOSAL" to avoid confusion. The Works Manager/Diesel will publicly open technical proposals first; financial proposals of technically accepted bids will be opened at a time, date and venue to be announced in advance. Delivery period must not exceed 45 days from date of issuance. Bidders should contact the Works Manager/Diesel office in Rawalpindi for further details and tender documentation.

This is a standard procurement tender by Pakistan Railways for goods or services to support the Central Diesel Locomotive Workshop in Rawalpindi. The two-envelope procedure suggests technical specifications are important alongside price competitiveness. The 2 percent earnest money requirement and 60-day validity period are typical for Railway tenders. Delivery must be completed within 45 days, indicating reasonable urgency. Bidders must be tax-registered and able to supply brand-new goods or services meeting exact Railway specifications.

Who can bid: Bidders must hold valid Sales Tax Registration Number and National Tax Number. CCP registration is preferred but not mandatory. Typically for Railway procurement, bidders should be registered with SECP (if a company) or hold valid NTN (if sole proprietor/partnership). Only tax-compliant suppliers are eligible.
