State Life seeks virtualization architecture supply and installation for its Islamabad datacenter with a bid security of PKR 1.35 million.
Bidders need minimum five years' documented experience in similar IT infrastructure projects. The tight submission window and mandatory hard-copy bid security delivery alongside electronic submission on ePADs creates tight logistics. This appears to be a one-off infrastructure modernization project rather than a framework contract. Pre-bid meeting on 22 September provides an opportunity to clarify technical specifications before 8 October closure.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered firms with at least five years of relevant experience in virtualization and datacenter IT infrastructure services in public and private sectors. Typical requirements for such contracts include valid NTN registration, SECP incorporation certificate, and prior experience certificates. Bid security of PKR 1,350,000 must accompany submission.
