Horticultural Services RFP by PTCL

PTCL invites bids in Pakistani Rupees on a DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) basis for the provision of Horticultural Services in accordance with PTCL operational requirements. This procurement is issued under tender reference Proc.8-3/2/090626/4805 and covers horticultural maintenance and landscaping services required across PTCL facilities. The scope encompasses services to be delivered as per PTCL specifications and standards. Bids must be complete in all aspects and follow procedures laid down in the Request for Proposal (RFP).

Vendor registration with PTCL is mandatory for all bidders interested in supplying materials or services. Interested vendors must obtain a Vendor Registration Code (VR Code) from PTCL and include this code on all quotations and bids submitted. Unregistered vendors are required to complete registration for establishing a good and continuous business relationship with PTCL. Vendor Registration forms are available for download from the PTCL official website. All bids must be submitted electronically through the SAP Ariba Platform, and PTCL reserves the right to reject any or all bids or annul the bidding process at any time without liability or obligation to inform bidders of grounds for rejection.

Bids must be submitted latest by 17 August 2026 before 17:00 hours through the SAP Ariba Platform link provided in the notice. Bids received after the deadline will not be accepted and will be returned unopened. For further details, tender documents, and procedural clarifications, vendors may contact the Group Director Operations and Contract Management or the Manager Operations and Contract Management via email addresses listed in the notice.

PTCL is procuring horticultural services on a one-off or framework basis. Mandatory vendor registration with PTCL is required before bid submission, creating a pre-qualification hurdle. The submission method is restricted to the SAP Ariba e-procurement platform only, requiring digital capability. Scope and budget details are not disclosed in the notice; bidders must obtain the full RFP document separately. The tight 17 August 2026 deadline allows limited preparation time. This is a service contract, likely recurring annually, suited to horticultural contractors with prior PTCL experience or willingness to navigate their registration process.

Who can bid: Vendors must be registered with PTCL and hold a valid Vendor Registration Code (VR Code) before submission. PTCL does not specify sector-specific licensing requirements in this notice, but horticultural service providers typically require relevant municipal or agricultural body registration. The notice does not state bid security or performance guarantee requirements.
