For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
SME Bank's Official Liquidator is auctioning surplus fixed assets in four categories (electrical, furniture, office equipment, scrap paper) from its Islamabad headquarters.
This is a one-time liquidation sale, not recurring. The scale appears small to medium—typical office liquidation stock. Key constraint: earnest money of Rs 5,000 per category required upfront; successful bidder must pay full amount within 10 days or forfeit security. Scrap paper buyers must shred materials and accept phased delivery. Unsealed bids open 8 October 2026; ideal for local dealers in used office equipment or recyclers.
Who can bid: Pakistani individuals (domestic or overseas) and registered Pakistani companies/firms/societies may bid. No specific licensing mentioned. Typically, bidders purchasing office equipment require valid NTN registration with FBR; those bidding on scrap require environmental compliance awareness. SME Bank employees are explicitly barred from participating.
