For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
PAFDA is procuring three large-capacity UPS units (40/60/80 KVA) for its head office in Lahore.
This appears to be a straightforward equipment procurement with moderate complexity—supplier must deliver, install, and commission industrial-grade power backup systems. The 120-day bid validity and two percent security deposit suggest moderate tender value. Single-stage two-envelope format is standard for government equipment procurement in Punjab. Key consideration: installation and commissioning at a fixed location requires local presence or logistics capacity.
Who can bid: The notice does not specify mandatory licenses, but suppliers of electrical equipment in Pakistan typically require PEC (Pakistan Engineering Council) registration, NTN tax clearance, and SECP registration. Bidders must demonstrate technical capacity to supply and install UPS systems of stated capacities and provide performance guarantees.
