SBP is procuring UPS battery replacement services for its main Karachi office—a specialized works contract of relatively modest scale requiring technical expertise in power backup systems.
The two-envelope bidding format and emphasis on performance guarantees and integrity pacts suggest SBP's standard governance requirements. This is a one-time replacement rather than a recurring maintenance contract, with a closing date in October 2026. Bidders should ensure they can meet security/compliance requirements typical for State Bank projects and verify the exact battery specifications before quoting.
Who can bid: Bidders typically require valid NTN registration, business registration (SECP), and relevant experience in UPS battery installation and replacement work. PEC registration may be required depending on the classification; bidders should confirm whether Category E (electrical works) licensing applies. Integrity Pact and performance guarantee submissions are mandatory.
