For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
PMDC is recruiting a pre-qualified roster of suppliers across six commodity and service categories for its salt mining operation in Karak over a two-year period with potential one-year extension.
This is not a single contract but a framework enabling competitive bidding on individual requirements as they arise. Scale ranges from minor consumables (stationary, hardware) to substantial undertakings (mine development, vehicle fleets, IT infrastructure). Applicants must demonstrate five years' operational history, prior contracts exceeding Rs. 100,000, current project portfolio, client satisfaction evidence, and bank liquidity of at least Rs. 500,000, plus a physical office with five staff in Peshawar. The short submission window (before 7 September 2026) and multiple affidavit requirements suggest compliance scrutiny is high.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with the Federal Board of Revenue for income and sales tax and appear on the active taxpayer list. Mandatory documents include company registration, sales and NTN certificates, company profile, and affidavits concerning blacklisting, litigation with PMDC, business disputes, and conflicts of interest. Separate requirements apply per lot: most require prior contract experience and current project portfolio; all require Peshawar office with minimum five-person staff and bank evidence of Rs. 500,000 liquidity.
