Two concurrent rehabilitation contracts for critical 132kV grid station boundary wall reconstruction in Balakot and Oghri, KPK, valued at approximately PKR 31.7 million combined. Bidders require PEC registration, five-year experience with contracts exceeding 50% of estimated value each, and audited financial records. Tight technical qualification threshold and mandatory 2% bid security may deter smaller firms. Closing date 18 August 2026 allows limited preparation time. Infrastructure focus suggests stable, medium-scale work for established civil contractors with grid/utility experience.

Who can bid: Bidders must hold valid PEC (Pakistan Engineering Council) registration, PPRA registration with active ePADS account, and NTN. Typically required: two previous civil contracts each ≥50% of estimated cost within five years, audited financial statements for 63 years, and 2% bid security.
