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.
IBA Karachi seeks interactive screen supply, installation, and ongoing support across its main campus—likely a multi-unit fit-out for lecture halls or common areas.
Scale appears medium; the Rs. 120,000 security and October 2026 closing suggest a structured institutional procurement, not emergency. Notable: mandatory site visit (Oct 20) is binding, dual-portal submission (EPADS + physical delivery) creates compliance risk, and EPADS takes precedence if documents conflict. Supplier must handle post-sale support, indicating 2–3 year relationship minimum.
Who can bid: Active taxpayer status required; NTN and SRB/GST registration mandatory. Manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers eligible. Typically, proof of tax compliance (FBR certificate, GST active status), business registration (SECP for private entities), and financial stability are verified. No PEC grade stated (non-construction). Participation in site visit is mandatory, not optional.
