For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
IBA Karachi seeks electric cable suppliers for institutional electrification work—likely moderate-scale materials procurement rather than installation.
Single-stage sealed bid with 21 August 2026 closure suggests standard institutional buying cycle. Notable: SPP Rules compliance required, physical bid submission mandatory despite e-portal posting, and 2% security in negotiable instruments (PO/DD) rather than bank guarantees—check liquidity availability. One-off supply tender, not recurring framework.
Who can bid: Active taxpayers only—manufacturers, distributors, suppliers must hold valid NTN/FBR registration and tax authority credentials. SECP registration required if incorporated entity. No specific PEC requirement stated for suppliers (unlike construction), but financial credibility verification through tax records is mandatory. Bidders must demonstrate continuous tax compliance.
