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.
Two separate construction packages: a hippopotamus enclosure partition wall (PKR 2.01 million) and rhinoceros enclosure modification (PKR 1.31 million), both at Lahore Zoo with 10-day completion deadlines.
Bidders must hold current PEC registration with relevant specialization code; absence of correct code results in automatic rejection. Both works are modest-value, short-duration projects typical of zoo maintenance. No escalation permitted despite extended 90-day bid validity. Earnest money at 5% per PPRA standard. E-bidding mandatory; manual submissions rejected.
Who can bid: Bidders must be PEC-registered contractors or firms with current-year renewal and the requisite specialization code for construction work; contractors lacking the relevant code are ineligible and rejected at evaluation. Typically, NTN and SECP registration are required for SMEs in Pakistan. Bank of Punjab earnest money submission via e-procurement system is mandatory.
