For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
Major highway dualization project spanning 10.3 km in Narowal District; Rs 4.6 billion estimated cost indicates large-scale infrastructure work requiring substantial financial capacity and execution capability.
24-month completion window is standard for this scale but demands disciplined project management. Notably, the earnest money requirement of Rs 230 million (5% of cost) is substantial—confirm financial capacity before committing resources. This is a one-off Phase-I project under ADP funding; assess whether follow-up phases are planned as they could justify investment in site setup and equipment. Single-stage two-envelope bidding requires careful technical proposal preparation since financial bids only proceed for technically responsive bids.
Who can bid: Bidders must hold valid PEC License Category C-A for 2026-27 and be registered on Punjab PPRA e-Procurement portal. SECP or Registrar of Firms legal entity registration required. NTN and sales tax registration mandatory. Ten-year litigation history and non-blacklisting declarations required. No joint ventures permitted. Typical requirements also include audited financial statements and experience certificates for similar projects.
