For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
IESCO is tendering construction of a single 132 kV line bay at Lakarmar Grid Station in Islamabad for approximately Rs.
2.6 million. This is a standard, one-off grid infrastructure project. The tight three-week bid window (28 Aug to 21 Sep 2026) leaves limited time for document assembly. Bidders require PEC registration, prior grid/transmission experience, and ability to provide performance guarantees. A bid securing declaration replaces cash security, reducing upfront capital barriers.
Who can bid: Bidders typically require PEC registration in electrical/civil construction, SECP registration or active NTN, and demonstrable experience on 132 kV or higher voltage grid/transmission projects. The notice does not state minimum turnover or project value thresholds explicitly, though standard IESCO practice typically requires evidence of past similar-scale work and financial standing.
