Tender Details
Description / Scope of Work
The Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP), under the Ministry of Commerce, Government of Pakistan, invites applications from Pakistani nationals registered with the Federal Board of Revenue or General Sales Tax Department for provision of stationery and other general items through a framework agreement. The procurement is for TDAP's Head Office in Karachi, Sindh, covering a one-year period extendable for a further two years on the same prices and mutual agreement. A single-stage two-envelope procedure shall be followed under PPRA Rules, with goods to be acquired as and when required through work orders from bidders offering the most advantageous responsive rates. The framework agreement shall not constitute a commitment to purchase any specific quantity; rather, procurements shall be made on a recurring basis during the validity period. TDAP reserves the right to increase or decrease the bill of quantities accordingly.
Applicants must possess valid National Tax Number (NTN) registration, valid Sales Tax registration with FBR or SRB where applicable, and active taxpayer status verified through the Active Taxpayer List. An affidavit regarding non-blacklisting on stamp paper is mandatory, and bidders must maintain an office in Karachi with supporting documentation such as an office address, utility bill, and rent agreement or ownership documents. Blacklisted vendors or bidders from any organization or department of the Government of Pakistan are not eligible to apply. Incomplete, partial, or conditional bids shall not be accepted, nor shall bids received after the due date and time.
Bidders must quote prices against all items, describing the product name and company; failure to quote against any item shall render the bid incomplete and non-responsive. All items supplied must be brand new, unused, and of good commercial quality, with delivery to be completed within seven calendar days from the date of issuance of the Purchase Order. Quoted rates shall remain fixed during the contract period with no escalation allowed. Suppliers shall be responsible for providing samples for approval, bearing all transportation and delivery costs, and replacing any defective or non-conforming items within seven working days at no additional cost to TDAP. For further details, interested bidders should contact the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan at Finance and Trade Centre Building, Sharae Faisal, Karachi.

TDAP seeks framework-agreement suppliers for recurring stationery and general items procurement in Karachi.
This is a one-year renewable rate-contract, not a single purchase—volumes undefined and triggered by work orders only. Bidders must be FBR-registered, taxpaying, Karachi-based, and untainted by blacklisting. No bid security or earnest money is mentioned. Sample approval is mandatory before acceptance. The seven-day delivery window and seven-day defect replacement obligation are tight operational requirements; suppliers need active local inventory and logistics capacity.
Who can bid: Applicants must hold valid NTN and FBR/SRB Sales Tax registration, maintain active taxpayer status, operate an office in Karachi with utility/rent proof, and submit a non-blacklisting affidavit on stamp paper. Blacklisted vendors from any Pakistani government entity are barred. No PEC or sector-specific license is mentioned; typical stationery suppliers need only tax compliance and local presence.
