For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
IESCO seeks three production runs of 240 mm² single-core cables worth approximately 77.5 million rupees, indicating a substantial supply contract for power distribution infrastructure. The tight submission deadline (04 September 2026, 10:30 AM) and same-day opening require logistics coordination. This appears to be a one-off procurement rather than a framework contract. Bidders must meet prior registration, financial stability, and technical capacity benchmarks; foreign participation is permitted but requires Pakistani banking channels. Experience with utility-scale cable supply and IESCO dealings would strengthen competitive position.
Who can bid: Bidders must hold valid approval licenses as per tender specifications and demonstrate prior registration with relevant authorities. Typically, suppliers of electrical goods in Pakistan require SECP registration, valid NTN, and PEC or IEDC certification depending on scope. Bid security guarantees valid 28 days post-bid are mandatory. Foreign bidders must route submissions and guarantees through Pakistani banks.
