For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
IRADA seeks bulk supply of plastic packaging (bottles, drums, cans) and printed labels totaling over 1.4 million units across sixteen SKUs—primarily for agricultural chemical products.
This represents a medium-scale, one-time procurement for a government research entity. Key challenge: the tight 20-day bid window and highly specific HDPE material grades, neck sizes, and weight tolerances suggest the buyer has mature supply chains in mind and expects suppliers to match exact manufacturing standards. Recurring contracts are likely if quality and delivery perform well.
Who can bid: The notice does not explicitly state eligibility criteria or registration requirements. Typically, suppliers must hold valid NTN/FBR tax registration, and manufacturers or authorized distributors of plastic and packaging goods must comply with Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority (PSQCA) certification or ISO equivalents for food-contact plastics. Bidders should verify compliance with HDPE material safety standards.
