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 straightforward electrical materials and installation contract for a single commercial property in Lahore with fixed technical specifications (04 Core x 240 mm² cable).
The scale appears modest relative to typical infrastructure tenders but reflects focused building services work. Bid security at Rs. 150,000 is reasonable for this category. The procurement follows standard National Competitive Bidding rules with no indication of framework or recurring elements—this appears to be a one-off capital improvement. Timeline is compressed (16 days to bid closure), typical for smaller facility contracts. Suppliers should ensure PEC registration and cable sourcing compliance with stated standards.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered on PPRA ePADS and meet qualification criteria per BDS Clause 17 (not detailed in this extract). Typically, suppliers of electrical materials and installation services must hold valid NTN registration and preferably PEC Category 'D' or equivalent for electrical works. No explicit foreign bidder restriction is stated; the procurement is open to all eligible bidders under National Competitive Bidding rules.
