PESCO is procuring tower installation for an 11 kV river crossing to supply power to a military air base — a specialized electrical infrastructure project.
The PKR 14.65 million contract involves civil works including bored RCC piles and transmission-line installation, with a tight 120-day schedule. Requires Category C-6 PEC registration with both civil and electrical specializations, substantial prior experience (two similar 50%+ value contracts), and significant working capital (30% liquidity). This appears to be a one-off deposit work for military infrastructure.
Who can bid: Bidders must hold PEC Category C-6 or higher with CE-02 and EE-05 codes, valid FBR/NTN and active taxpayer status, KPRA registration, and EPADS registration. Minimum 70% annual turnover and 30% liquid resources required. Typically, single entities or joint ventures of maximum two members with one lead member are eligible.
