Tender Details
Description / Scope of Work
The Centre of Excellence in Molecular Biology (CEMB) at the University of the Punjab invites sealed bids from interested civil, mechanical, and electrical contractors for the construction of a clean rooms biotech laboratory facility in Lahore, Punjab. The project is divided into seven distinct work packages: HVAC systems for biotech clean rooms and production line (estimated Rs 31.20 million), clean rooms panels (Rs 5.5 million), electrical works (Rs 2.90 million), fire fighting works (Rs 0.80 million), process utilities (Rs 13.3 million), civil plumbing works (Rs 1.80 million), and furniture and mechanical works (Rs 4.50 million). The total project scope encompasses specialized laboratory infrastructure designed to meet biotech industry standards. Bidders may submit offers for individual lots or as a single combined package, with bid security fixed at 2 percent of the estimated price for each lot.
Eligible bidders must be registered contractors with relevant PEC (Pakistan Engineering Council) categories for civil, mechanical, and electrical works respectively. All bids must be submitted in sealed envelopes clearly marked with the lot number and contractor details, accompanied by certified copies of NTN, SECP registration, and relevant licenses. The bid security amount must be deposited as a Crossed Demand Draft or bank guarantee in the name of the Director, CEMB. Technical and financial bids must be uploaded separately on the e-PADS portal as per procurement rules.

For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
Seven-lot biotech laboratory construction project totaling ~Rs 60 million across HVAC (largest component at Rs 31.2M), clean room panels, electrical, fire safety, process utilities, plumbing, and furniture.
Bidders can cherry-pick individual packages or bid the full suite—unusual flexibility suggesting phased execution risk or late contractor dropouts anticipated. Closing is distant (Sept 2026), reducing urgency, but specialized biotech infrastructure demands deep technical expertise; standard contractors will struggle with clean room specifications and process utility integration.
Who can bid: Bidders must hold PEC registration in civil, mechanical, and electrical categories respectively. NTN and SECP registration mandatory; relevant trade licenses required. Typically, active PEC membership with demonstrated biotech or pharmaceutical project experience expected, though not explicitly stated. University procurement rules apply; coordination with e-PADS portal and sealed submission protocol non-negotiable.
