The National University of Sciences & Technology (NUST) Islamabad invites sealed bids from financially sound and technically competent suppliers and firms for the procurement of maintenance stores required for annual hostel maintenance at its H-12 Campus in Islamabad. The procurement covers plumbing, electrical, hardware items and paint supplies needed to support the ongoing maintenance operations of the university's hostel facilities. Bidders must be registered with PPRA for e-procurement on the e-Pak Acquisition and Disposal system (e-PADS) platform and meet the financial and technical competency requirements stipulated by the university.

Eligible bidders must be registered with the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) for e-procurement participation on the e-PADS platform. The tender follows a single stage, single envelope procedure for bid evaluation and selection. All prospective bidders are required to obtain complete bidding documents from the e-PADS website (https://epads.gov.pk/) which contains detailed specifications, terms and conditions, and technical requirements for the maintenance stores being procured.

NUST is procuring routine maintenance consumables (plumbing, electrical, hardware, paint) for hostel operations at its Islamabad campus via e-procurement. This appears to be recurring annual procurement of standard maintenance items. The bidder must be PPRA-registered for e-PADS participation. Scale appears medium based on multi-category scope. Tender uses electronic single-stage bidding with same-day opening, indicating streamlined process for commodity-type supplies rather than complex works.

Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with PPRA for e-procurement on the e-PADS platform. Suppliers must be financially sound and technically competent as determined by NUST. The notice does not specify NTN, SECP, or PEC registration; however, typically vendors supplying to government organisations are required to hold valid NTN and business registration.
