PESSI is seeking pre-qualified contractors for a Rs. 871 million hospital construction project in Sheikhupura, requiring C1 PEC category minimum.
This is a large-scale healthcare infrastructure investment emphasizing financial stability and prior similar-scale project execution. The compressed pre-qualification window (closing 08.10.2026) suggests urgent procurement timeline. E-procurement platform mandatory registration adds compliance burden but ensures transparent, structured bidding process. Healthcare facility construction demands specialized expertise in hospital MEP systems, infection control design, and regulatory compliance beyond standard commercial construction.
Who can bid: Contractors must hold active PEC registration in C1 category or higher and possess valid PEC, PRA, and NTN certificates. Social security contribution deposits must be current and regular. Registration on Punjab E-PADS portal is mandatory. Firms without demonstrated experience on projects of similar scale and nature will be disadvantaged during evaluation. Typically, such projects also require proof of financial capacity, no blacklisting history, and compliance with PPRA procurement code.
