This is a heritage conservation contract valued at Rs. 63.5 million covering two historical monuments in Attock district.
The two-envelope procedure separates technical qualification from price competition, meaning bidders must demonstrate conservation expertise, appropriate methodology, and project management capability before prices are even reviewed. The extended completion period to April 2027 indicates complex, specialized work requiring experienced heritage professionals. Contractors without documented conservation project experience are unlikely to qualify. The 5% bid security requirement (Rs. 3.175 million) signals substantial financial commitment expected upfront.
Who can bid: Bidders typically require PEC registration in relevant category for construction/conservation works, National Tax Number (NTN) from FBR, and SECP registration if a corporate entity. The notice specifically mandates an executed Integrity Pact. Experience in conservation or restoration of historical structures is expected, though not explicitly quantified in the extract. Financial capacity to handle Rs. 63.5 million contract is implicit.
