This is a relatively modest civil and electrical construction contract at Kotri valued under PKR 2 million with a tight three-month delivery window.
The scope involves driver and guard facility improvements plus electrical installation—standard railway infrastructure work. Eligibility is restricted to PEC-registered C-4+ firms with CE-10 or equivalent specialization, limiting the bidder pool. The two-envelope, EPADS-only submission format suggests moderately formal procurement. Bidders must hold active FBR tax registration and should verify PEC category alignment before investing bid preparation effort.
