IESCO is tendering duct line installation work—a moderate-scale infrastructure project converting overhead electrical distribution to underground. The scope spans approximately 1–2 km on a major road corridor in the federal capital. Bidders should note this is a straightforward utility construction contract with standard technical requirements; no exceptional capacity or specialized equipment appears necessary beyond typical duct-laying experience. The single-stage envelope format and mid-August closing suggest a reasonably paced procurement.

Who can bid: Bidders typically require valid SECP registration (or equivalent business registration with FBR/NTN), demonstrated experience in electrical/utility works, and proof of financial capacity. PEC Category 2 or equivalent is typically expected for underground utility installation contracts. Specific registration mandates should be confirmed in the detailed BDS section.
