This is a large-scale disposal auction of six redundant transmission line projects yielding approximately 500,000+ kilograms of mixed metallic scrap (conductor, tower iron, wire, fittings, insulators).
Bid security ranges from Rs. 1.1–8 million depending on lot size. Bidders must have FBR registration and financial capacity to remit payment within 21 days and complete dismantling/material lifting within 50 calendar days total. The multiple-lot structure allows portfolio bidding but creates logistical complexity. Pre-bid site inspection is essential given the "as is" condition and geographically dispersed assets.
Who can bid: Bidders must be FBR-registered active taxpayers. CDR or bank guarantee (A+ or above rating) bid security is mandatory. Typically, for scrap disposal and dismantling contracts in Pakistan, bidders should hold valid business registration (SECP, if applicable), valid NTN, and proof of technical/labour capacity for transmission line dismantling work, though the notice does not explicitly state PEC or labour licensing requirements.
