For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
A medium-scale maintenance contract for 4 km of dual carriageway overlay work on the major N-5 corridor, valued at over PKR 215 million. Requires C-3 category with dual codes (CE-01, CE-10). This is a one-off functional overlay project with deep patching scope; not a framework or recurring contract. Tight submission deadline (13 days from advertisement) and mandatory EPADS registration will screen out undigitized firms. PEC specialization requirement narrows the bidder pool to established highway contractors.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with FBR on the Active Taxpayers List, hold a valid PEC license (Category C-3 or above) for FY 2026-27 with specialization codes CE-01 and CE-10, and register on EPADS (www.eprocure.gov.pk) before bid submission. Typically, such contracts also require evidence of previous similar project experience, financial capacity, and equipment availability, though the notice does not explicitly state these.
