For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
This is a municipal sanitation infrastructure project—desilting of a drainage carrier in Talagang City with a contract value of PKR 34.6 million.
Bidding closes 07-10-2026 via e-procurement; bidders must be E-PADS-registered and provide PKR 1.73 million bid security. The relatively tight timeline and low-bid penalties (5–10% additional performance security if under-bidding by more than 5%) suggest competitive pressure. This appears to be a one-off maintenance work rather than a recurring contract, making it suitable for civil/drainage contractors experienced in municipal works execution.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered on E-PADS for the year 2026-27 and hold a valid registration with a scheduled bank in Punjab capable of issuing bid security. Construction contractors typically require relevant PEC registration or equivalent; the notice does not explicitly state PEC category but expects formal contractor registration. NTN and business tax registration are typically required by government procurement rules.
