For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
A significant tender for importing laboratory equipment to strengthen manufacturing engineering facilities at a major federal university.
The two-million-rupee bid security, three-year experience requirement, and Rs 100 million minimum turnover threshold suggest this is a substantial contract favoring established suppliers with proven track records and financial stability. The closing date of 01 September 2026 allows limited preparation time. Equipment specifications and detailed scope remain in the full bidding documents accessible through ePADS. This is a one-off capital equipment procurement, not a recurring contract.
Who can bid: Bidders must have three years' experience in relevant field, minimum average annual turnover of Rs 100 million (last three years per FBR returns), active GST registration, and clean litigation/blacklisting history certified via non-judicial affidavit. Typically, suppliers of laboratory equipment to government institutions also require PEC registration if involved in any civil works component, though not explicitly stated here.
