For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT

KPK Forest Department is sourcing 171,720 plants across three geographically dispersed packages (Lakki Marwat district, Indus Highway corridor, and roadside median plantations) totaling Rs 19.44 million.
This is a one-off afforestation/beautification initiative with differentiated species requirements per location—forest stock for two packages, ornamentals for one. Scale suggests medium-tier supplier capacity needed; no manufacture, only supply/delivery logistics. Closing date allows ~12 months lead time, reducing urgency pressure.
Who can bid: Active NTN and Sales Tax registration with FBR required. PEC registration not mentioned (horticulture supply, not construction). Must hold National Identity Card, provide tax registration proof, affidavit of no litigation with the department, and authorized signatory documentation. Typically, Pakistani suppliers in horticulture procurement also require nursery license or environmental clearance, though not explicitly stated here.
