For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
IESCO is procuring Line Bay construction at a 132 kV substation—a medium-scale electrical infrastructure contract valued at approximately Rs.
4.9 million. This is a single discrete project rather than a framework, with tight timing (submission deadline 28 Sept 2026). The 132 kV transmission work controlling a 2nd circuit suggests established technical requirements and likely requires specialized contractor experience in power system civil works. The project is non-recurring and competition-based under federal e-procurement rules.
Who can bid: The notice does not explicitly state eligibility criteria or required registrations. Typically, bidders for 132 kV substation civil works must hold valid PEC (Pakistan Engineering Council) registration in relevant civil category, possess NTN and active SECP registration, and meet past experience requirements for similar voltage-level electrical infrastructure projects as specified in the detailed bid documents.
