Diesel Locomotive Workshop Services – Pakistan Railways Central Workshop Rawalpindi

Pakistan Railways Central Diesel Locomotive Workshop Rawalpindi invites sealed technical and financial proposals under single stage–two envelope tender procedure in accordance with PPR-2004. This tender form (Reference 494-W/201/05-LTE/RSD) is issued by the Works Manager/Diesel at the Central Diesel Locomotive Workshop located in Rawalpindi, Punjab, to procure goods or services as per specifications and requirements detailed in the accompanying tender documents. The tender follows a two-envelope sealed bid system where technical and financial proposals are submitted separately to ensure transparent and competitive procurement practices.

All prospective bidders must possess valid Sales Tax Registration Number, National Tax Number, and CCP Registration (if applicable). Bidders are required to submit earnest money equivalent to 2 percent of the tender value, either as cash deposit or through valid standing security with CCP office. Bidders who fail to deposit security within 14 days of tender acceptance or fail to accept the purchase order within seven days shall forfeit their security deposit and breach the contract. Quotations must remain valid for a minimum of 60 days from the tender opening date, and bidders must not quote delivery periods exceeding 45 days from the date of issuance.

Bid documents can be obtained from the Works Manager/Diesel, C.D.L. Workshop, Rawalpindi. Sealed bids comprising both technical and financial proposals must be submitted before the closing date and time as announced. The technical proposal envelope will be opened first; financial proposals of technically non-responsive bids will be returned unopened. Only technically accepted bids will have their financial proposals publicly opened at a date, time and venue to be communicated to bidders in advance. The lowest evaluated bid meeting all specified requirements shall be accepted.

This is a sealed two-envelope procurement by Pakistan Railways for goods/services at the Central Diesel Locomotive Workshop Rawalpindi. The tender emphasises strict compliance with technical specifications and brand-new supply; bidders cannot modify offers after opening. Scale appears small to medium based on standard workshop procurement. Notable requirements include 2% earnest money, 60-day quotation validity, and 45-day maximum delivery. Registration with tax authorities and CCP is mandatory. The tight 45-day delivery window suggests replacement parts or maintenance supplies rather than long-lead manufacturing.

Who can bid: Bidders must hold valid Sales Tax Registration Number and National Tax Number. CCP registration is required if registered. Typically, Pakistani firms must be in good standing with tax authorities and, if registered, hold active CCP Category E or relevant procurement registration. Valid standing security or 2% earnest money deposit is mandatory.
