This is a multi-lot framework contract for calibration and PT services spanning 78 lots over one financial year.
The procurement covers specialized laboratory support services with potential recurring call-off demand. The 2026-27 timeframe suggests this may be an annual renewal cycle. Bidders can participate in multiple lots subject to one-bid-per-person restrictions. The framework structure indicates flexibility in quantities and timing of deliveries against established rates, typical of government laboratory operations. Scale appears medium to large given the breadth of services and government agency involvement.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with relevant regulatory bodies for calibration and testing services. Typically, providers of calibration and proficiency testing services must hold accreditation from recognized standards bodies (ISO 17043 for PT providers, ISO/IEC 17025 for calibration labs, or equivalent). A valid NTN and relevant SECP registration are typically required. The notice specifies submission of eligibility documents but does not detail specific certifications; bidders should verify current accreditation requirements with the laboratory.
