For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender, written with AI from the official notice and checked by our quality rules — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
ICCBS seeks 100m of 150MM 4-core electrical cable (600/1000V rated) via EPADS, a straightforward commodity purchase below PKR 5M.
Scale is small; this appears one-off infrastructure supply for a research institute. Tight deadline (closes 15 Sept 2026) and FOR basis mean bidders absorb transport risk. Requirement for Pakistan Cable grade or equivalent plus manufacturer certificate suggests quality gatekeeping; two references indicate preference for established suppliers with prior institutional sales track record.
Who can bid: Bidders must be EPADS-registered vendors and hold Sindh Revenue Board and income tax registration. Typically, PEC registration is not mandated for non-construction supply contracts; however, supplier credentials (manufacturer certificate or Tier-1 distributor status) are contractually required. Cable sourcing restricted to Pakistan Cable or equivalent-grade products.
