For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
IBA is seeking 50 units of 50W LED street lights (M8B module with driver) for its main campus.
This is a small-scale equipment supply contract with a tight 2-day turnaround for quotation submission. The mandatory sample requirement adds complexity—approval is a gating condition before order placement. Notable: no estimated budget is disclosed, liquidity damages (2% monthly) penalize delays, and IBA can split the order among bidders or reject all quotations. This suits established lighting suppliers with rapid sample-provision capability.
Who can bid: The notice does not explicitly state eligibility criteria. Bidders typically require SECP registration, valid NTN, and relevant business experience in electrical/lighting equipment supply. Vendors should confirm ability to provide a sample and meet the M8B specification or equivalent.
