KMC is awarding a single LED street lighting project at Dak Khana Flyover valued at approximately Rs.
10.2 million. The corrigendum explicitly prohibits joint ventures and limits one contract per successful bidder, suggesting KMC may have multiple similar works available separately. Submission deadline is 27 August 2026. Bidders must demonstrate firm-specific eligibility; partnership structures will be rejected outright. This appears a mid-scale infrastructure modernisation contract.
Who can bid: Firms must be registered entities with evidence of eligibility for their organisation alone. Joint ventures are explicitly barred. Typically, bidders should hold valid NTN, membership with relevant technical bodies (PEC for engineering works), and demonstrate prior experience in electrical/street lighting installation projects.
