PNSC seeks a one-year elevator maintenance contractor for 6 units at their Karachi headquarters.
This is recurring annual procurement likely to renew if performance satisfies. Scale appears medium—6 elevators in a commercial building suggest steady, predictable workload rather than emergency-driven scope. Tight timeline from notice to bid closure (~8 months nominal, but closing Friday Oct 23, 2026) with same-day opening signals standard federal process. LCBS methodology means lowest compliant price wins; technical differentiation minimal. Suitable for established lift service providers with PNSC interface capacity.
Who can bid: Bidders must register on ePADS v2.0; no explicit PEC category stated for lifts/elevators (not construction-classified). Typically, elevator service providers need NTN, valid business registration (SECP or provincial authority), and proof of technical capability/vendor authorization. No entity restrictions mentioned; foreign bidders may require additional clearance under PPR 2026. Bid security required (pay order or declaration format per tender docs, amount not disclosed in summary).
