This is a three-year prequalification tender for furniture suppliers, not a one-off procurement.
VU seeks qualified manufacturers, importers, and wholesalers across five furniture categories (seating, desking, storage, conference, auditorium). The framework structure allows multiple supply orders over time once prequalified. Bidders must maintain offices in both Lahore and Islamabad and hold ATL registration—suggesting moderate scale operations with established tax compliance. The short application fee (Rs. 1,000) and broad category scope indicate VU expects recurring, diversified furniture needs.

Bidders must maintain offices and partnerships or collaborations in Lahore and Islamabad. Four categories available: Furniture Manufacturer, Importer, Wholesaler, or Supplier.
