PSO seeks workshop-based repair and repainting of 199 steel lubricant racks across Faisalabad NVROs.
This is a substantial one-off contract requiring workshop facility, spray-painting capability, imported glass sourcing, and rigorous quality documentation (photographic stage approvals, paint thickness verification). The 180-day timeline is moderate; the strict no-on-site-work clause with Rs 100,000 per-violation penalty and PO cancellation risk indicates PSO is highly vigilant on compliance. Bidders need established workshop infrastructure, access to imported materials, calibrated testing equipment, and documented quality processes.
Who can bid: Typically bidders must hold valid NTN and SECP registration or equivalent business entity registration. PEC registration is not explicitly stated as mandatory. Contractors must demonstrate workshop capability, access to imported materials, and possession of calibrated paint thickness measurement equipment (minimum 4-month validity). Compliance with health and safety standards and PPE provision is mandatory.
