SRSP is procuring civil rehabilitation works for a 2 MW hydropower plant in remote Lower Chitral.
This is a substantial infrastructure contract under EU funding with a long lead time (closure October 2026). Bidders require PEC registration and prior hydropower or mountain civil works experience. The remote location presents logistical challenges but the EU-backed funding indicates reliable payment. One-off rehabilitation project unlikely to be repeated annually.
Who can bid: Bidders typically require PEC registration in civil/structural categories, current NTN and SECP registration, and documented experience with hydropower plant or major civil works projects. The notice does not specify a minimum project value threshold or turnover requirement, but similar EU-funded projects typically restrict bidding to registered contractors with relevant sectoral track record.
