This is a large-scale, multi-year framework procurement for certified and hybrid vegetable seeds covering 5,000 acres across KPK and merged districts.
The contract spans 2026-27 and likely recurs annually under government agricultural development schemes. Bidders must carry FSC&RD and FBR registration and absorb all transport costs province-wide. The 2% bid security requirement and relatively tight pre-bid and submission schedule (mid-October pre-bid, early November closing) suggest a well-structured institutional tender suited to established seed suppliers with provincial distribution capability and government compliance maturity.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with FSC&RD (Federal Seed Certification and Registration Department), FBR, and KPRA, plus other relevant provincial and federal authorities. Typically, seed suppliers must hold valid seed certification and government vendor registration. Firms, companies and corporations are invited; sole proprietorships registration status not explicitly clarified.
