Tender Details
Description / Scope of Work
The Office of the Wafaqi Mohtasib-Regional Office Lahore (Federal Ombudsman) invites prequalification applications from national suppliers for a closed framework agreement to supply stationery and miscellaneous items on an annual basis during 2026-2027. The procurement is for the Lahore office in Punjab province and will be funded from Non-ADP resources. This is a framework-based procurement mechanism where successful prequalified bidders will be invited to participate in subsequent call-off contracts for on-demand supply of goods during the 12-month agreement period. The reference number for this procurement is FFW10296. The prequalification process is the first stage, designed to establish a panel of qualified suppliers who will then compete in the main bidding stage scheduled for November 2026.
The prequalification process is open to all national applicants subject to fulfillment of eligibility requirements specified in the prequalification documents. Applicants must demonstrate relevant experience and meet qualification criteria outlined in the bidding document. All prequalified suppliers will be eligible to participate in subsequent invitation to bid proceedings. The closed framework agreement structure restricts participation to only those suppliers who successfully complete the prequalification stage.
Interested applicants may obtain further information and access complete prequalification documents through EPADS v2.0 (e-Pak Acquisition and Disposal System) during office hours. Invitations to Bid are expected to be issued on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, with the closed framework agreement expected to be signed on Friday, November 20, 2026. Contact the Office of the Wafaqi Mohtasib-Regional Office Lahore through EPADS v2.0 for inquiries. The office is located at SLIC Building, 3rd Floor, 15-A, Davis Road, Lahore City.
