PSO seeks 900 MT imported LPG delivery in October 2026—a single, time-bound commodity procurement, not recurring.
Scale is substantial but straightforward: qualified vendors must demonstrate relevant LPG supply experience and financial strength to secure and deliver within a narrow 8-day window (20–27 Oct). The two-envelope e-bid process via SAP Ariba is mandatory; traditional tender submission is unavailable. Bidders face tight upstream timelines: document collection window is only 16 days, with technical opening same day as closure. Competition likely limited to established importers/traders with existing PSO relationships and Ariba portal access.
Who can bid: Bidders must hold valid NTN, GST/PST certificates, and CNIC (owner/authorized rep). Active tax-payer status per Pakistan Revenue Authority required. SAP Ariba Network ID registration mandatory. Typically, PSO tenders restrict bidders to those with proven LPG import/supply track record and financial solvency certificates. No explicit PEC category constraint stated, suggesting non-construction procurement.
