Four-month outsourcing contract for support staff and essential services at a government irrigation facility.
Project value ~Rs. 15.9M suggests medium-scale operation requiring sustained labour deployment rather than specialized technical work. Tight submission deadline (October 2026) leaves minimal preparation window. Notable requirement: PEC registration mandatory despite 'plumbing' category tag appearing misaligned with support services scope—verify actual skill categories required before investing in bid preparation. Single-stage procedure means limited revision opportunity post-submission.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered on Punjab e-procurement portal and hold valid PEC (Pakistan Engineering Council) registration in relevant category for FY 2026-27. Joint ventures permitted. Typically, firms require active NTN and SECP registration; non-compliance with original bid security instrument (DD/Call Deposit/Bank Guarantee from scheduled bank) renders bid non-responsive. Government contractors preferred but not explicitly stated.
