Diesel Locomotive Workshop Services and Supplies by Pakistan Railways

Pakistan Railways Central Diesel Locomotive Workshop Rawalpindi invites technical and financial proposals under a single stage two-envelope tender procedure for the supply of goods and services as per Railway specifications. The tender, referenced as 494-W/201/14-LTE/RSD, concerns procurement of items required for the maintenance and operation of diesel locomotives at the workshop facility located in Rawalpindi, Punjab. Bidders are required to submit sealed bids comprising separate technical and financial envelopes, with technical evaluation conducted independently of pricing considerations. The procurement process follows PPR-2004 guidelines and is open to registered suppliers meeting Pakistan Railways qualification standards.

Eligibility criteria require bidders to possess valid Sales Tax Registration, National Tax Number, and if applicable, CCP registration under relevant categories. All firms must submit earnest money equivalent to two percent of the tender worth as bid security, which will be forfeited in case of non-compliance with contract terms or failure to accept purchase orders within specified timeframes. Bidders must confirm they understand that offers cannot be withdrawn or modified after tender opening and before expiry of the sixty-day validity period, and that quotations must specify a single rate and delivery location with a delivery schedule not exceeding forty-five days from date of issuance.

Bid documents should be obtained from the Workshop Manager's office at the Central Diesel Locomotive Workshop, Rawalpindi. Technical proposals will be opened initially and evaluated against specified requirements, with financial proposals of technically accepted bids opened at a publicly announced date and venue. The bid validity period extends for sixty days following the tender opening date. Detailed terms and conditions, specifications, and submission procedures are enclosed with this tender notice. Interested bidders may contact the Works Manager, Diesel Division, C.D.L. Workshop, Rawalpindi for further information and clarification on technical requirements.

Pakistan Railways seeks goods and services for its Rawalpindi diesel locomotive workshop under a formal two-envelope tender. The procurement follows strict PPR-2004 procedure with separate technical and financial evaluation. Bidders must hold tax registrations and deposit two percent earnest money. The forty-five-day delivery constraint is tight. This appears to be recurring maintenance and supply work for railway operations, requiring compliance with Railway specifications and likely favoring experienced vendors with prior CCP registration. Non-responsiveness to technical requirements results in automatic rejection regardless of quoted price.

Who can bid: Bidders must hold valid Sales Tax Registration Number, National Tax Number, and typically CCP registration with Pakistan Railways. Two percent earnest money deposit is mandatory. Bidders must confirm ability to supply brand-new goods exactly per Railway specifications and accept all tender conditions. Prior experience with Railway procurement and CCP registration status are implied prerequisites.
