Two separate watch tower construction projects in Hangu and Kohat, each valued at Rs 6 million, under a forest fire mitigation program.
Single-stage bidding via EPAD with same-day opening. Bidders must be PEC-registered construction contractors with active KPPRA tax status. The tight submission window (less than two weeks) and requirement for original CDR plus detailed rate analysis demand preparation. These appear to be one-off infrastructure projects rather than recurring contracts, typical of forest development initiatives in KPK.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered on EPAD and hold relevant PEC construction codes. Typically, contractors must be SECP-registered (if private), maintain active NTN status, hold valid KPPRA enlistment, and possess C&W enlistment certificates. Only contractors meeting all KPPRA Rules 2014 requirements and active taxpayer status are eligible. Financial Act 2013 registration is mandatory.
