This is a framework contract for recurring supply of office consumables and services across four categories totalling PKR 3.29 million. The scope is relatively standard—stationery, printing, and computer supplies—typical for government departments. The 15-day delivery timeline is moderate and achievable for established suppliers. The 5% bid security requirement and mandatory online submission via ePADS suggest a mature, regulated procurement process. This appears suited to established trading firms with regular government supply experience and proper tax registration.

Who can bid: Bidders must be manufacturers, authorized dealers or sellers registered with Income Tax and Sales Tax authorities. No specific sectoral license or PEC category mentioned. Typical requirements for goods supply contracts include valid NTN, valid GST registration, and evidence of business registration with relevant authorities.
