PSPC seeks safety shoes in a straightforward goods procurement with a single-stage bidding process. The tender emphasizes compliance documentation including blacklisting affidavits, ultimate beneficial owner declarations, and HSE undertakings—suggesting PSPC maintains strict vendor governance. Technical specifications are in Annexure A; bidders must provide evidence of standard compliance upfront. The August 2026 closing date allows reasonable preparation time. This appears to be a routine operational purchase rather than a framework arrangement, though the emphasis on integrity and declarations may indicate previous vendor issues or evolving compliance requirements at PSPC.

Who can bid: The notice does not explicitly state registration or category requirements. Typically, suppliers of safety equipment must be registered with the relevant authority (SECP/NTN) and may require certification from Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority (PSQCA) or equivalent for footwear. PEC registration is not applicable for goods suppliers. Foreign bidders are not explicitly excluded, suggesting national and possibly international bidders are eligible if they meet standard compliance and documentation requirements.
