For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
Specialized supply and installation contract for magnetostrictive tank gauging across seven horizontal storage tanks—a medium-scale project requiring PEC C-5 certification and proven technical expertise in instrumentation or storage systems.
The two-envelope procedure means technical qualifications are evaluated first; commercial evaluation occurs only if you pass technical screening. Tight 16-day bidding window (09–25 Sept 2026) and mandatory SAP Ariba participation are key logistics. This appears to be a one-off capital project rather than a framework or recurring supply contract.
Who can bid: Bidders must hold valid PEC C-5 Certificate in the relevant field of specialization. Typically, for supply and installation of specialized equipment in Pakistan, contractors also require NTN registration, SECP incorporation (for companies), and documented prior project experience in similar tank instrumentation work. Foreign bidders may require EOBI/SESSI compliance.
