For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
This is a service concession for operating a retail mini mart in a staff housing colony — a stable, recurring revenue model rather than project-based work.
The Rs 50 million average annual turnover requirement is stringent for pure retail operations, suggesting the procuring authority expects an established trader with multi-location experience or significant capital. The tight eligibility (three-year turnover records, professional tax, FBR registration) signals compliance-focused procurement. The Rs 0.5 million bid security and best-and-final-offer structure indicate a straightforward, non-negotiable commercial arrangement. Likely suits organized retail chains or experienced canteen/mini mart operators already operating at university or corporate estates.
Who can bid: Bidders must be FBR and SRB registered with active taxpayer status, hold a Government of Sindh Professional Tax Certificate, and demonstrate three years' relevant experience with documents. Minimum average annual turnover of Rs 50 million over the last three years (per FBR online returns) is mandatory. An affidavit confirming no litigation, blacklisting, or corrupt practice history is required. No specific PEC or construction category applies; this is a services contract for retail operations.
