Framework Contract for Stationery, IT Equipment, Hardware and Furniture by Punjab Irrigation Department 2026-27

The Punjab Irrigation Department invites electronic bids on a lot basis for the procurement of stationery, printing and publication materials, computer stationery, entertainment and gifts, hardware, software, IT equipment, plant and machinery, and furniture and fixtures under a framework contract for the financial year 2026-27. This comprehensive procurement exercise covers eleven separate lots with estimated bid securities ranging from PKR 375,000 to PKR 2,915,000, to be supplied as per the department's requirements throughout the year. The tender is issued by the Punjab Irrigation Department located at Library Road, Old Anarkali, Lahore, and is open to registered trading firms, companies, sole proprietors and service providers engaged in the relevant sectors.

Eligible bidders must be registered with relevant registration authorities and tax departments including Income Tax, Sales Tax, and Punjab Sales Tax. Each bidder must submit electronic bids against individual lots separately, as contracts will be awarded on a lot-by-lot basis. Bidders are required to provide scanned bid security equivalent to 5 percent of the total estimated cost for each lot in the form of a CDR, banker's cheque, or bank guarantee issued in favor of the Section Officer (General), Government of Punjab, Irrigation Department. The original bid security instrument must be physically delivered to the Office of the Section Officer (General) at the Irrigation Department, Punjab Public Library Road, Old Anarkali, Lahore, prior to the bid submission closing date.

Complete electronic bids must be submitted online through the Punjab e-Procurement System website at https://punjab.eprocure.gov.pk on 19th August 2026 by 11:00 AM. Bidders can obtain complete tender documents from the e-procurement portal or by contacting the Punjab Irrigation Department at phone number (+92)(42)(99213546) or via their website at https://irrigation.punjab.gov.pk. This framework contract modality allows for phased procurement of goods and services throughout the financial year based on departmental requirements.

This is an 11-lot framework contract spanning the full financial year 2026-27, making it a recurring procurement of varying goods from stationery to plant and machinery. Total estimated security across all lots exceeds PKR 12.5 million, suggesting significant volume. Notably, the closing date of 19 August 2026 is imminent relative to tender preparation timelines. The framework structure means successful bidders will fulfill orders on a call-off basis throughout the year rather than in one bulk delivery, requiring operational agility. Bidders must be tax-registered and the requirement for physical delivery of original bid security adds logistical complexity.

Who can bid: Bidders must be registered firms, companies, sole proprietors or service providers engaged in trading, with registration from relevant authorities and tax departments (Income Tax, Sales Tax, Punjab Sales Tax). The notice does not specify PEC category or additional certifications; typically for non-construction procurement of this nature, bidders require active tax registration (NTN), and vendor registration with the procuring agency is often preferred.
