For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
Cantonment Board Nowshera is bundling 15 disparate contracts (civil works, supplies, maintenance) totaling ~Rs.
140m across a single tender window. The portfolio spans infrastructure (roads, drainage, parking), building construction (two B+G+F malls), and MEP work (RO filtration, submersible motors, lighting). Notable: extremely broad scope mixing new construction with maintenance invites scope creep risk; 180-day bid validity is extended; material testing at NUST/UET shifts quality oversight but adds cost and delay exposure. Recurring maintenance component suggests potential for framework contracts. Closing Sept 2026 suggests current planning phase—no immediate urgency.
Who can bid: PEC registration mandatory in relevant category; active FBR TaxPayers List status required. Bid security ranges Rs. 122.5k–Rs. 1.865m by contract. Five percent earnest money as bank call deposit with affidavit. Bidders must evidence five years' similar projects, bank solvency certificates, tax compliance, and non-blacklisting. Performance guarantee (10%) applies if quoting below MES Schedule 2025.
