For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender, written with AI from the official notice and checked by our quality rules — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
IBA seeks 42 electrical meters across three specifications, all branded SB Electronics or equivalent with K-Electric approval.
This is a small single procurement with tight one-day turnaround (quotation due 2 Oct 2026). Mandatory sample submission for all items signals quality-critical procurement; non-compliance with specifications or delayed delivery risks 2% monthly liquidated damages. Ideal for established meter suppliers with proven K-Electric credentials and immediate sample availability.
Who can bid: The notice does not specify formal registration requirements. Typically, suppliers of electrical equipment to institutional buyers must hold valid NTN and GST registration with the Federal Board of Revenue, and should possess relevant product certifications from K-Electric or Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority. Manufacturing or authorized dealership documentation for SB Electronics products would strengthen bids.
