For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
POF is procuring indigenous supplies under a single-stage two-envelope competitive tender.
The tender structure requires both technical and commercial submissions, with electronic bidding mandatory on the POF portal. Bid security thresholds vary significantly by firm registration status (2–5% of quoted value), making this accessible to unregistered firms at the cost of higher security deposits. Suppliers must clear all taxation liabilities and hold quotations valid for 90 days. The Wah Cantt location indicates military procurement; delivery can be either FOB or free to site, affecting cost structures. This appears to be a recurrent supplies contract rather than a one-time purchase.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with relevant taxation authority and have cleared all Professional Tax dues. Typically, suppliers of goods to Pakistan Ordnance Factories require valid NTN and exemption certificate from Excise and Taxation Department. Unregistered firms may participate but must provide 5% bid security (max Rs. 1.0 Mn); registered un-indexed firms require 3% (max Rs. 0.75 Mn); registered indexed firms require 2% (max Rs. 0.5 Mn). Government organisations and welfare projects may request bid security waiver from DG(C).
