The National Highway Authority (NHA), Sindh-South Region, invites sealed e-bids from registered contractors for special maintenance work involving the construction of a steel overhead pedestrian bridge with motorcyclist ramp near Matiari Bypass on National Highway N-5, kilometre 181+000 to kilometre 182+000. The estimated contract value is PKR 60,574,515 with a completion period of 178 days. This is a single-stage, two-envelope procurement process open to contractors registered with the Income Tax and Sales Tax Departments, holding valid registration certificates with Pakistan Engineering Council in category C-4 and above with specialization in CE-01, CE-02, or CE-10. The work falls under the Federal province jurisdiction and aims to enhance pedestrian safety on this major national highway corridor.

Bidders must be active taxpayers with valid Federal Board of Revenue certificates and demonstrate Pakistan Engineering Council registration in the specified categories and specializations. All firms are required to obtain EPADS (PPRA) registration at www.eprocure.gov.pk immediately, as manual hard-copy bids will be eliminated from upcoming procurements. Standard bid security and defect liability period of six months apply as per the bidding documents. Prospective contractors should verify their eligibility status and ensure compliance with all registration requirements before bid submission.

Bidding documents are available for free download from the NHA website (www.ebidding.nha.gov.pk) on or before 11 August 2026.

NHA is tendering a single pedestrian bridge construction project worth approximately 60.6 million rupees on the N-5 corridor near Matiari. The 178-day timeline is reasonable for the scope. Bidders must hold PEC C-4+ registration with civil works specialization and be active on FBR tax rolls. EPADS registration is now mandatory. This appears to be a one-off infrastructure project rather than recurring maintenance, making it a discrete contract opportunity for qualified civil contractors in Sindh.

Active taxpayer status with valid Federal Board of Revenue certificates is required. Contractors must also obtain EPADS (PPRA) registration at www.eprocure.gov.pk; manual bids are excluded.
