Tender Details
Description / Scope of Work
Pakistan Railways has issued a corrigendum to two bridge repair tenders previously advertised in Daily The News on August 29, 2026 and Daily Ausaaf on August 28, 2026. The first tender concerns special repair work to Bridge No. 203 (5x20'-0'') located at KM 209/2-3 on the Malakwal-Sargodha Section in Punjab, with a revised basic cost of Rs. 81,222 for the Bill of Quantity Financial Submission (Vendor). The second tender covers special repair to Bridge No. 695 (3x32'-0'' & 4x40'-0'') situated at KM 13/10-11 on the Lalamusa-Malakwal section, also in Punjab. Both tenders relate to critical railway infrastructure maintenance on these provincial sections.
A key amendment to both tenders removes the requirement for registration with Punjab Revenue Authority (PRA), making this optional rather than mandatory for prospective bidders. This significant change to eligibility criteria expands the pool of potential contractors. Bidders are advised to review the full bidding documents and original tender terms and conditions, which remain otherwise unchanged, for complete project specifications, technical requirements, performance obligations, and payment schedules.
Bidding documents for both tenders are available on the e-pak Acquisition and Disposal System (EPADS) portal at the specified URLs. Bidders must obtain documents, prepare submissions in accordance with advertised requirements, and submit bids by the deadline. The corrigendum notice is also published on Pakistan Railways official website at https://pakrail.gov.pk and the PPRA portal at https://emps.ppra.gov.pk for bidder reference and verification.
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 bridge repair contracts for Pakistan Railways on separate sections in Punjab.
First contract involves minor structural work with revised cost of Rs. 81,222; second contract scope not quantified in corrigendum. Key change: PRA registration no longer mandatory, potentially opening bidding to unregistered contractors. Bidders should verify complete technical specifications and tender conditions via EPADS. Small-scale repair contracts suggest local contractors may be competitive, though railway work typically demands specialized bridge engineering experience and equipment.
Who can bid: PRA registration is now explicitly excluded from mandatory eligibility criteria for both tenders. Typically for Pakistan Railways construction contracts, bidders require NTN registration, valid PEC certificate (if applicable for bridge work), tax compliance, and proof of technical capacity. Review full bidding documents for current financial qualification thresholds and performance history requirements.
