This is a one-year framework contract for food supply to taken-over madaris boarding facilities across Kasur district, valued at PKR 10 million.
The procuring authority requires substantial prior experience (minimum three similar projects of PKR 20 million+), strong financial standing (PKR 20 million bank balance), and full tax compliance. The tight technical qualifications and emphasis on proven capability suggest a serious, recurring operational requirement rather than a one-off acquisition. Bidders must navigate e-procurement portal submission and meet stringent documentary requirements.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with Income and Sales Tax Departments, hold active taxpayer certificates, demonstrate three prior projects of PKR 20 million+ value, maintain PKR 20 million+ in documented bank balances, submit audited financial statements, and provide non-blacklisting certificates. Typically, food supply contractors for institutional boarding facilities do not require specific trade licensing but must evidence financial stability and operational track record.
