Three million cover sheets for exam awards—large-volume offset printing contract valued at PKR 27 million for FY 2026-27.
Specifications are technically demanding: virgin pulp offset paper (100g, A3), single-color digital black printing, encrypted barcodes, QR codes with 16-digit board/sheet identifiers, and precision cheque perforations. This is recurring annual procurement; winning bidders typically secure multi-year supply agreements. Tight deadline (closes September 2026) suggests the board operates on fixed exam schedules. Requires sophisticated print equipment and QC protocols to meet security/encryption standards.
Who can bid: Typically requires NTN registration and PEC category (likely G-IV or G-III for commercial printing). SECP registration for private firms standard. Specification complexity suggests preference for ISO 9001-certified or security-print-experienced vendors. No explicit restrictions stated; manufacturer capacity to handle 3 million units and equipment certification likely implicit.
