For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender, written with AI from the official notice and checked by our quality rules — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
Two distinct railway infrastructure projects: primary work upgrades an unmanned level crossing to manned dual-carriageway Class-I standard (Rs.
28.04M, 4-month execution) on the Quetta-Chaman section; secondary work is design and RCC structural work including watch towers (Rs. 0.94M, 2 months). Combined value ~Rs. 29M suggests medium-scale civil works requiring dual competency in crossing rehabilitation and tower construction. Tight timeline (4 months primary, 2 months secondary) demands experienced crews. Both use standardized railway cost schedules, reducing technical ambiguity but requiring familiarity with PR procurement norms.
Who can bid: Bidders must hold valid PEC CE-06 license (fresh renewal required) with CE-10 specialization code. Registration with Sales and Income Tax departments mandatory; must be on FBR's Active Taxpayer List. Typically, firms also require valid NTN, SECP registration if incorporated, and clean audit history. No stated restrictions on firm size or prior railway experience, though execution complexity suggests established contractors preferred.
