Lab Equipment, Chemicals and Glassware Procurement by University of Agriculture Peshawar

The University of Agriculture Peshawar is inviting sealed bids through the EPADS (Electronic Procurement Advance Dispensation System) portal for three separate procurement packages under Technology Development Centre (TDC) and Higher Education Commission (HEC) projects. The tenders cover procurement of labfarm equipment for the Department of Climate Change Sciences, labfarm equipment for the Department of Poultry Science (FAHVS), and laboratory equipment, chemicals and glassware for the Department of Plant Protection. All three procurement activities are scheduled for submission and opening on August 19, 2026. The University is located in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and procurement follows single-stage single-envelope procedures with a 4 percent bid security requirement for each package. These are development and research support procurements aimed at strengthening academic infrastructure and research capabilities across multiple departments.

Bidders must hold valid NTN registration with KPPRA and maintain current Sales Tax compliance. Technical and financial bids should be submitted through the EPADS portal at https://www.kp.eproure.gov.pk. Bid security must be submitted in the form of a call deposit favouring the Treasurer, University of Agriculture Peshawar. The original CDR and bid fee receipts (Rs 3,000 for package S#1 and Rs 2,000 for packages S#2 and S#3) must be deposited into the specified NIP account at the University's Peshawar campus branch. Affidavits requested in the tender document must be submitted in a separate envelope. All submissions must reach the undersigned before the closing date.

Detailed bidding documents, terms and conditions, specifications and requirements are available on the EPADS portal and official platforms including KPPRA's website (https://www.kppra.gov.pk) and the University's website (https://www.aup.edu.pk). Prospective bidders seeking additional information may contact the Project Director Office (TDC) at the University of Agriculture Peshawar. Bids will be opened publicly on the same date and time as submission closure.

Three separate lab and farm equipment packages under development projects: climate change sciences equipment, poultry science equipment, and plant protection lab supplies and chemicals. Bid security is modest (4 percent) but submission requires formal CDR deposits and separate affidavit envelopes—administrative burden is moderate. NTN and tax registration mandatory. Procurement is one-off project-funded activity, not recurring. Timeline is tight with same-day submission and opening. Best suited to suppliers with prior university supply or agricultural equipment experience.

Who can bid: Bidders must hold valid NTN registration with KPPRA and current Sales Tax compliance. Typically, suppliers of laboratory equipment and agricultural implements should have relevant experience and technical capacity. No specific PEC category applies; commercial vendors meeting tax and regulatory requirements are eligible.
