Consumable stationery supply contract for federal department covering office and computer supplies.
Scale appears medium—recurring annual procurement for institutional use with 12-month delivery horizon (FY 2026-27). Key risk: tight submission window (October 2026 closure) and mandatory Islamabad/Rawalpindi presence requirement; this favours local suppliers with established warehousing. Item-rate bidding suggests competitive pricing pressure; success requires efficient logistics to government offices.
Who can bid: Must be GST-registered with active NTN, listed on FBR's Active Taxpayers Lists (Income Tax and Sales Tax both required). Established business presence mandatory in Rawalpindi or Islamabad. Non-construction tender; no PEC category applies. Registration certificates, NTN, GST certificate, and non-blacklisting affidavit compulsory. Typically, bidders also need to demonstrate supply capacity and financial stability.
