Building conversion project converting Punjab Food Authority facility into Narcotics Control Station and CNF Training Academy.
Scale: medium-large (Rs 78.9M, 18-month timeline). Structural and architectural modifications required—adaptive reuse rather than new construction. Single-stage two-envelope procurement suggests relatively straightforward evaluation. Tight deadline risk exists; bidders must ensure PEC C4+ credentials with CE10 specialization before commencing documentation, as ineligible firms face automatic exclusion.
Who can bid: Bidders must hold valid PEC license (category C4 or above) with specialization code CE10, renewed for FY 2026-27. Original license documentation required. Firms lacking CE10 designation automatically excluded. NTN/tax registration typically required for government contracts; confirm via tender documents.
