This is a recurring annual maintenance contract for water supply schemes split into four lots (two civil, two electrical-mechanical) across two PHE subdivisions in Charsadda and Tangi. Individual contract values range PKR 4.38–5.15 million, modest scale suitable for small-to-medium regional contractors.

Bids required strict additional security escalation for competitive pricing; lowest-bid selection mechanism implies cost sensitivity. These are routine O&M contracts likely to repeat annually.
