For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
Framework supply contract for tabulation registers (offset printing) to a provincial education board.
Estimated value PKR 9.5M with recurring demand over contract duration—not a one-time print run. Delivery on work-order basis within 30 days suggests operational flexibility but requires production capacity to handle periodic orders. Single-stage bidding and 13-day turnaround from document release to closure creates compressed bid-preparation window. Suitable for established offset printers with education/institutional client experience and working-capital headroom.
Who can bid: Open to reputed, established firms and suppliers registered with tax authorities (NTN/FBR compliance implied). No explicit PEC category stated; printing procurement does not typically require PEC registration. EPADS registration mandatory. Confidentiality undertaking on Rs 500 stamp paper required. Typically, bidders must be active, tax-compliant entities; sole proprietors and partnership entities accepted if formally registered.
