Tender Details
Description / Scope of Work
The National Logistics Corporation (NLC), a government entity of Pakistan, invites sealed tenders for the supply of one 60-ton capacity crane on FOR (Free on Rail) basis to Sost, Gilgit-Baltistan. The procurement is open to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and authorized dealers with established backup support services and sustained financial capability in Pakistan. Bidders must submit complete technical data, English-language technical brochures and software, and certification from the OEM that all major assemblies and components are from the same origin and free of Indian-made parts. The quoted equipment must be brand new, right-hand drive where applicable, and the price must be quoted on FOR basis to Sost BT (border trading post). Suppliers are required to handle commissioning, provide warranty to international standards, supply all filters and consumables free of cost for two years, conduct six-monthly maintenance inspections, and maintain a two-year comprehensive maintenance schedule with consumable parts pricing. Local suppliers or manufacturers must be on the Active Tax Payer List of the Federal Board of Revenue.
Bidders must meet eligibility criteria outlined in Annex 'A' and conform to technical specifications in Annex 'B'. Bid security and tender fee are mandatory; financial quotes must be submitted in separate sealed envelopes for each equipment item. The equipment must comply with all specified technical requirements, and any deviation may result in forfeiture of earnest money and order cancellation unless permitted during technical evaluation. Bidders must provide certificate from the OEM confirming origin of components and absence of Indian-made parts, location details of the manufacturer and supplier, and licenses or certificates from the OEM. The contract attracts stamp duty at 0.25 percent of contract value, payable by the winning firm at signing.
Tenders must reach HQ NLC, Harding Road, RA Bazar, near AFIRM, Rawalpindi by the deadline specified in the tender notice via hand delivery or post in double sealed covers—technical offer and commercial offer separately—bearing the tender enquiry number and opening date. Offers submitted by fax or email will not be accepted. NLC reserves the right to reject all bids at any stage, adjust quantities during contract finalization, and pursue punitive action including confiscation of bid security and performance guarantees against defaulting firms. Prospective bidders should carefully review all terms and annexes before submission.
For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
NLC seeks a single 60-ton mobile or tower crane for delivery to Sost border trading post in Gilgit-Baltistan, a remote and strategically important location.
The scope includes two years of integrated after-sales support, six-monthly free inspections, and all consumables at no extra cost—a substantial service commitment. Strict origin certification and zero-Indian-parts requirements suggest end-use sensitivity. The tight tender closure and FOR pricing to a landlocked destination imply urgent operational need and logistical complexity. Only established OEM representatives with demonstrated Pakistan infrastructure can realistically compete.
Who can bid: OEMs or authorized dealers with active Pakistan support operations are eligible; local suppliers must appear on FBR's Active Tax Payer List. All bidders must supply OEM certification of component origin and non-Indian sourcing, location of manufacturing facility, and English technical documentation. Typically, bidders would hold relevant machinery import/supply licenses or distribution agreements recognized by Pakistan authorities.
