Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
KPK ESSI seeks qualified pharmacies to supply medicines across eight provincial stations via single-stage sealed bidding.
Bid security of PKR 250,000 per station signals moderate contract scale; local purchase focus favours established suppliers with proven supply chains in KPK. Pre-bid meeting scheduled 28 September 2026 and opening 8 October 2026 provide reasonable bid preparation window. Multi-station coverage suggests potential for recurring annual or framework arrangements, though notice does not explicitly confirm contract duration.
Who can bid: Bidders must be FBR-registered for income tax and sales tax, and appear on the Active Tax Payer list. Registration reflects compliance with federal tax obligations. The notice specifies no specific regulatory license category (PEC, SECP, NTN), but typically pharmacy suppliers must hold provincial drug licenses and maintain good standing with relevant health authorities.
