Two-lot procurement: false ceiling refurbishment (2,000 sq ft gypsum installation with aluminum framing, one-year warranty) and two biometric attendance systems (advanced multi-modal recognition, IP65-rated).
Combined value ~Rs. 630,000 suggests mid-size project for Lahore office. Notable constraint: mandatory physical site inspection and attendance marking before quotation submission—logistically demanding for non-local bidders. Seven-day installation deadline is tight; 1% daily liquidated damages apply post-deadline. Appears one-off facility upgrade rather than recurring supply.
Who can bid: Active GST/Income Tax registered companies; must be solvent, non-blacklisted, tax-compliant. Lot 01 specifically requires Lahore office/warehouse, 5+ years relevant experience, two prior government/semi-government/commercial references, valid GST certificate, and notarised undertaking (Rs. 100 e-stamp minimum). Typically, SECP registration and NTN are implicit under tax registration requirement.
