Pakistan Ordnance Factories (POF) invites quotations for indigenous supplies under Tender Enquiry No. 0006/LP/CMC/56/P-D dated 17 September 2026. The tender is issued for materials and plant/machinery supplies on an open competitive bidding basis, utilising the Single Stage two-envelope method as per PPRA Rule 36(b).

All suppliers must meet eligibility requirements including valid registration, professional tax clearance certificates, and hazardous effects documentation where applicable. Bid security is mandatory, scaled by firm registration status: registered/indexed firms must provide 2 percent of quoted value (maximum Rs. 0.5 million), registered/unindexed firms 3 percent (maximum Rs. 0.75 million), and unregistered firms 5 percent (maximum Rs. 1 million). Government organisations and welfare projects may request exemption. Tender samples are required where specified, strictly adhering to description and specifications provided. Conditional or alternative offers will be ignored.
Electronic submission of quotations is mandatory via www.ebidding.pof.gov.pk before 30 minutes prior to opening at 12:00 hours on 12 November 2026 at the Bid Centre adjacent to Rabita Hall, POF Wah Cantt.

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.
POF seeks indigenous materials and plant/machinery via competitive bidding; scale appears medium to large given POF's defence procurement scope and tiered security requirements.
Dual-envelope method separates technical (specs/delivery) from commercial (pricing/terms) submissions—common for equipment procurement but requires careful documentation. Notable: strict electronic submission deadline (30 min before noon, 12 Nov 2026), 90-day quote validity, and performance bonding at contract award. Appears one-off procurement rather than recurring framework. Hazardous material declarations required where applicable—verify if relevant to your supplies.
Who can bid: Suppliers must be registered (indexed or unindexed) or unregistered, with professional tax clearance and valid registration credentials. POF-indexed/registered firms face lowest security (2%); unindexed firms 3%; unregistered 5%. Government entities and welfare projects may seek security exemption. Typically, NTN and SECP registration (if applicable) required; hazardous material certification mandatory where applicable.
