For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
PAA is seeking installation of a chiller plant control system at Karachi airport's utility building valued at Rs 1.5 million—a small to medium mechanical engineering contract. The scope requires site-specific proposal preparation, suggesting moderate complexity in retrofit or upgrade work. Bidders must hold ME-01 or ME-04 PEC registration and ATL status. The August 2026 deadline allows reasonable preparation time; this appears to be a one-off project rather than a framework or recurring maintenance contract.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with the Pakistan Engineering Council in category ME-01 (Mechanical) or ME-04 (Electrical/Mechanical) and maintain active status on the Federal Board of Revenue's Active Taxpayers List. Valid NTN and SECP registration are typically required for institutional bidders.
