For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
This is a renewable annual framework contract for routine office supplies (printing and stationery) valued at Rs.
25 lakh for FY 2026-27. The scope indicates the hospital requires ongoing vendor support rather than a one-time supply. Successful bidders should expect repeat orders throughout the year and must maintain consistent quality and delivery performance. The two-envelope procedure suggests modest technical requirements; cost competitiveness will likely be decisive. The 5% bid security and requirement for original CDR submission before deadline are standard but demand careful cash management.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered on the Punjab e-Procurement portal. Valid NTN, Sales Tax Registration, and business documentation are required. Typically, suppliers of printing and stationery must hold current business registration from relevant authority (SECP or equivalent) and maintain sales tax compliance. Sole traders, partnerships, and companies are normally eligible. No specific category or PEC registration is mentioned in the notice.
