PSO seeks a qualified OEM-authorized service provider for annual maintenance of Honeywell RTG systems at two Sindh terminals.
The contract blends recurring preventive visits (twice yearly), emergency response (within 24 hours), and remote support, totaling approximately 32 billable units annually plus mobilization. Notably, the tight response window (24 hours for emergency dispatch) and requirement for trained OEM technicians suggest the contract favors established suppliers with local presence and factory authorization. The detailed scope and PSO's emphasis on approved verification procedures indicate a technically demanding engagement unsuitable for generalist vendors.
Who can bid: Vendor must be OEM-authorized for Honeywell RTG systems with trained technicians capable of 24-hour emergency response. Typically, PSO maintenance contracts require NTN registration, valid business license, and evidence of OEM authorization. No specific PEC grade cited; however, the technical nature implies requirement for relevant certification or factory-authorized status.
