This is a one-off import contract for specialized laboratory equipment destined for a major university research center.
The procurement is part of a federally-funded strengthening initiative (MEGA-6), suggesting stable institutional backing and likely significant equipment scope. Eligibility demands substantial prior experience: three years continuous track record, minimum Rs 100 million average turnover, and at least two prior laboratory equipment import orders each exceeding Rs 50 million. The 20-day bidding window (15 to 30 September 2026) is standard but leaves limited preparation time. Bidders without documented large-scale laboratory equipment import history in the preceding three years will be ineligible.
Who can bid: Bidders must be manufacturers, authorized dealers, distributors, or suppliers with three years continuous laboratory equipment import experience. Valid GST and active taxpayer status required. FBR tax return evidence mandatory (three years, minimum Rs 100m average turnover). Two prior independent laboratory equipment import orders (each Rs 50m+) with completion certificates essential. Original non-judicial affidavit affirming no litigation, blacklisting, or corrupt practices required. Typically, bidders must hold relevant trade licenses and regulatory approvals for equipment import.
