For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender, written with AI from the official notice and checked by our quality rules — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
Government procurement of specialized water quality testing consumables: 8 units each of nitrate and sulfate powder pillows plus 11,000 disposable microbial testing kits for coliform detection across KPK's public health labs.
Scale is moderate but volume-driven by the large kit quantity. This appears one-off rather than recurring framework. Supplier must navigate e-procurement portal submission with tight formatting requirements; bid security requirement at 2% suggests estimated contract value in mid-range. Water quality testing supplies face variable demand based on provincial lab priorities.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered entities per KPK Public Procurement Rules 2014; typically requires SECP registration (if company), valid NTN, and relevant lab chemical/medical supplies credentials. No PEC category applies (non-construction). Specific sectoral registration or quality certifications for laboratory reagents likely expected but not explicitly stated—check detailed bid documents.
