IBA Karachi seeks a printer maintenance SLA provider for multi-unit local support—likely 50+ devices across campus based on institutional scale.
This is a recurring service contract (typically 1–3 years), not equipment supply. The tight 16-day bidding window and dual-submission requirement (digital + physical) suggest IBA has urgent support gaps. Bidders should clarify scope: response times, coverage hours, spare parts availability, and whether this includes managed print services or reactive repair only. The relatively modest bid security (Rs. 50k) indicates medium-scale spend, but SLA terms will determine actual revenue and operational burden.
Who can bid: Active taxpayers with SECP/NTN registration as manufacturers, distributors, firms, or suppliers required. Bidders must demonstrate tax compliance status with relevant authority. Typically, bidders must also hold valid business registration, and for IT services, vendor certification or OEM authorization may be expected—verify with IBA if printer brand-specific accreditation is mandatory.
