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 quotations for a small print job: 30 booklets of 138 pages each with specific colour printing, card stock cover with lamination, and hot glue binding.
This is a straightforward one-off procurement with a tight submission deadline of 25 August 2026. The specification is detailed and demanding (matt lamination, Niva brand text paper), indicating IBA values quality. Pricing should factor in the modest 30-unit quantity and the 2% monthly penalty for late delivery, which IBA has explicitly stated will apply.
Who can bid: No specific registration requirements are stated in the notice. Typically, printing service providers should be registered with relevant tax authorities (FBR/NTN) and possess valid business registration. PEC registration is not applicable to printing services. Meeting the technical specifications (capability for 5+5 colour digital printing, hot glue binding, matt lamination) and quality standards is essential.
