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 five-month service contract for outsourced support staff at an irrigation division valued at Rs.
16.6 million. The scope involves essential personnel provision with contractor profit and overhead charges tendered separately from salaries, which are fixed per government daily-wage schedules. The closing date is imminent (21 September 2026), leaving minimal preparation time. This appears to be a recurring operational need rather than a capital project, typical for maintaining divisional staffing during administrative cycles.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered on Punjab e-procurement system and hold active PEC registration for FY 2026–27. Typically, support-staff outsourcing contracts require SECP registration and valid NTN for service-sector firms. No specific turnover or experience floor is stated in the notice, though PEC registration itself implies organisational legitimacy.
