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 localized civil works contract for culvert construction and repair on a secondary road in Gujranwala district.
The scope appears modest in scale—a single 12-foot span culvert—suggesting a small to medium contract typical of routine highway maintenance. Key constraint: bidders must quote absolute item rates, not percentage variations, making cost competitiveness critical. PEC licensing and full tax compliance are mandatory. The October 2026 closing date suggests moderate preparation time, allowing for site surveys and detailed cost estimates.
Who can bid: Bidders must hold valid PEC license (2024-25), possess NTN and FBR tax registration, maintain PRA registration, and deposit current professional tax. Typically, only contractors registered with the relevant provincial authority and in good standing with tax authorities are eligible for government road works in Punjab.
