For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
Two concurrent infrastructure contracts released by LDA for Lahore road and drainage works.
The larger project (J Block Gulberg, Rs 61.8 million) offers six months execution; the smaller (Multan Road repair, Rs 24.4 million) compresses work into one month, posing tight scheduling risk. Both require strong financial standing (50% average working capital, 25% liquid reserves) and demonstrated track record of similar-scale completed projects. PEC Category C-5/C-6 registration and three prior contracts each are non-negotiable. These are one-off capital works, not frameworks. Bidders should verify bank credit line accessibility before committing resources to the compressed one-month project.
Who can bid: Contractors must hold PEC Category C-5 & Above (Project 1) or C-6 & Above (Project 2) with mandatory specialised codes CE-01, CE-10, CE-11(i) and CE-11(vii). Valid FBR Income Tax and Punjab Revenue Authority registrations are required. For joint ventures, the lead partner meets all seven criteria; other partners meet criteria Sr No 1–3. Typical requirements for this category include three-year audited financials, bank statements dated within three months of tender publication, and completion certificates from government or semi-government engineers.
