For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
World Bank-financed RFQ for water supply infrastructure improvements in Balochistan, centered on QWASA service area expansion and groundwater management.
Scale appears medium-to-large given World Bank involvement and provincial scope. Notable: implementation through local PIU suggests phased rollout; tight 20-month deadline (notice date to closure) indicates established project timeline. One-off infrastructure project rather than recurring supplies.
Who can bid: Typical World Bank requirements apply: valid business registration (SECP for companies/SMEDA for SMEs), active NTN with tax compliance, no debarment history. PEC registration likely required if works component exists. Bidders must demonstrate prior water sector experience and technical capacity. Specific restrictions not stated in summary.
