Tender Details
Description / Scope of Work
National Insurance Company Limited (NICL) is seeking to establish a Closed Framework Agreement for the provision of photocopy services at its Head Office in Lahore and Zonal Office in Karachi for a period of twelve months. This is a non-consultancy services procurement under a single-stage, one-envelope bidding process. The framework agreement will enable NICL to procure photocopying services on demand through subsequent call-off contracts during the agreement period. The prequalification process is limited to national applicants who meet the eligibility requirements outlined in the prequalification documents.
Eligible applicants must be national service providers registered and compliant with Pakistan's regulatory requirements. The prequalification documents will specify the detailed eligibility and qualification criteria that bidders must satisfy to participate in subsequent invitation to bid proceedings. Interested applicants are advised to carefully review all eligibility requirements before submitting their prequalification applications.
Prequalification documents are available through the e-Pak Acquisition and Disposal System (EPADS). Interested applicants should contact National Insurance Company Limited at the address provided or via email at shahid.niazi@nicl.com.pk during office hours for further information. Invitations to Bid are expected to be issued on Thursday, September 17, 2026, and the Closed Framework Agreement is scheduled to be signed on Friday, October 30, 2026, for a twelve-month period.
For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
NICL is prequalifying photocopy service providers for a one-year framework agreement serving its Lahore head office and Karachi zonal operations.
This is a recurring services contract with call-off mechanism, suggesting stable demand rather than single-volume procurement. The tight timeline—ITB issuance in mid-September and framework signing by end of October—indicates NICL expects urgent service mobilisation. Competition appears limited to national bidders meeting undisclosed eligibility thresholds; prequalification gatekeeping suggests NICL values service reliability and compliance over price competition alone.
Who can bid: National applicants only. The notice does not explicitly state registration requirements, but typically photocopy service providers must be registered with SECP (if operating as a company) or relevant provincial authority, hold a valid NTN, and maintain GST registration. Specific eligibility criteria are detailed in the prequalification documents referenced in the notice.
