For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
IBA is seeking immediate supply of laboratory-grade minerals and replacement filter cartridges for its RO water treatment system.
The requirement spans both consumable mineral additives (calcium chloride and magnesium sulphate in small 80-gram units, 50 kg each) and filtration components (50 cartridge units). This appears to be routine institutional maintenance rather than a one-time capital project. The very tight two-day submission window (issued 18 Aug, due 20 Aug) and specific brand requirements (Merk minerals, So-Safe or equivalent filters) suggest the buyer has existing vendor relationships and seeks rapid replenishment. Bidders must hold stock or access to genuine Merk products and equivalent filter cartridges.
Who can bid: The notice does not explicitly state registration or licensing requirements. Bidders are typically required to hold valid NTN (National Tax Number), be registered with relevant tax authorities, and for imported goods provide customs clearance documentation or valid import licenses. Suppliers of laboratory/pharmaceutical-grade chemicals and water treatment equipment should typically hold relevant product quality certifications and be capable of supplying genuine branded items.
