For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
Four-lot tender spanning boundary wall construction (Rs4M) around minority worship site and three annual maintenance contracts (Rs1.5M each) for judicial buildings in Battagram.
Mixed scope suggests department seeking reliable local capacity for both capital works and recurring O&M — boundary wall is singular, judicial AOM&R likely recurring annually. Two-month deadline is standard; abnormal low-bid penalties (8% additional security if 10-20% below estimate, or differential amount if >20% below) signal department protecting against quality shortcuts on sensitive religious/judicial infrastructure.
Who can bid: Bidders must hold active PEC category C-6 license, current FBR and KPPRA registration, valid C&W Department enlistment, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority registration. Typically, NTN is mandatory for all contractors; SECP registration applies if incorporated. Abnormally low bids trigger additional security requirements alongside standard 2% bid security.
