This is a single-location tower foundation and erection contract valued at approximately Rs.
4.7 million for 132 kV transmission infrastructure in Federal territory. The scope includes dismantling existing tower, constructing new foundation, and full erection/stringing work—a complete turnkey tower replacement. Given the tight 21-day bidding window and specialized nature of transmission line work, bidders must have verifiable PEC credentials and prior tower projects. The project appears operationally straightforward but execution-critical for grid stability; no recurring or framework element is indicated.
Who can bid: Construction contractors must typically hold current Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) registration at Category F or higher for transmission tower work. National-level bidding suggests no geographic restriction. Contractors should have completed at least one similar 132 kV transmission tower project. Financial net worth and annual turnover verification, along with key personnel resumes and equipment inventory, will be required for technical and financial evaluation.
