For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
Pakistan Railways seeks to upgrade two unmanned level crossings (Gates 58 & 59, Roh-Sib section) from Class-III to Class-II status—a safety-critical infrastructure enhancement on the Jacobabad branch.
Scale appears medium given dual-gate scope and railway specification requirements. Tight timeline (closing August 2026) and dual-submission mandate (ePADS + physical) create execution complexity; this is a one-off capital project rather than recurring maintenance. Bidders should assess railway-specific compliance overhead and geolocation logistics (Sukkur-based delivery).
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with FBR for both Sales Tax and Income Tax, and must appear on the Active Taxpayers List (ATL). Typically, contractors also require PEC registration (likely C-1 or higher for railway works), SECP incorporation, and valid NTN. No explicit PEC category stated in notice.
