Data center turnkey procurement valued at PKR 46.16 million for a public health institute.
This is a single, complete infrastructure delivery contract rather than ongoing services. The tight 14-day bid preparation window (3–17 September 2026) leaves limited time for site assessment, design, and cost validation. Bidders need established experience in turnkey data center deployment, particularly in healthcare environments, and must secure bid security quickly via PSID.
Who can bid: Typically, turnkey data center vendors must hold relevant industry certifications (e.g. ISO 27001, Tier III/IV standards), valid company registration (SECP), and active National Tax Number (NTN). Specific PEC category or registration restrictions are not stated in the document. Prior experience in healthcare infrastructure is advisable though not explicitly required.
