IBA seeks construction contractors for faculty rooms at Tabba Block—a focused, institutional building project of modest scale.
The tight 20-day bidding window (Oct 8–28, 2026) and mandatory physical delivery of bid security alongside electronic submission create dual-channel compliance requirements. Notably, the tender fee (Rs. 2,000) and security amount (Rs. 25,526) are unusually low relative to typical faculty construction, suggesting either a limited-scope phase or preliminary works. One-off project with site visit mandatory.
Who can bid: Active taxpayers registered with SPPRA ePADS and relevant tax authorities (NTN/FBR). Typically PEC registration (category 'C' or above) required for construction works, though not explicitly stated here; confirm with IBA. SECP registration for manufacturers/firms/companies. No restriction on entity type stated.
