PMDC seeks a transportation contractor for rock salt extraction logistics at Warcha mines, a straightforward carriage service with likely recurring demand given mineral extraction operations.
The tight bidding deadline (August 31, 2026) and single-envelope process indicate a standard competitive procurement with minimal negotiation anticipated. Successful bidders should have established transport capacity, valid registration with EPADS, and ability to meet security deposit requirements. This is operational logistics outsourcing rather than infrastructure development.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered on EPADS v2.0 and be eligible to provide transportation services. The notice does not specify PEC category, NTN/SECP registration, or minimum experience requirements explicitly. Typically, such non-consultancy service contractors require valid business registration, NTN, and relevant business tax records from the Federal Board of Revenue.
