For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
IBA Karachi is tendering for security and surveillance equipment supply—likely CCTV systems, access control, monitoring gear and related accessories.
Tender value appears modest (PKR 150k security), suggesting a specialist equipment category rather than large-scale procurement. Key constraint: bids close in approximately 18 days with simultaneous ePADS upload and hard-copy delivery required. This is a one-off supply contract, not recurring. Typical for institutional campus security upgrades. Competition likely from established security integrators registered with tax authorities.
Who can bid: Bidders must be active taxpayers registered with SECP, NTN or relevant authority. Manufacturers, firms, companies, distributors and suppliers are eligible if duly registered. Bid security (PKR 150,000 as Pay Order/DD) is mandatory. Typically, security equipment suppliers must hold valid trade licenses and relevant certifications or authorizations from equipment manufacturers.
