Complete turnkey 100 kW solar installation for a research institute—PKR 10M project spanning supply, installation, commissioning and testing.
Single-stage, two-envelope format under PPRA 2014. This is a one-off institutional deployment, not recurring maintenance. Scale and timeline suggest a capable solar contractor with project management capacity. Institutional buyer typically means defined specs and payment reliability, but turnkey scope integration risk is material.
Who can bid: Bidder must be registered for income tax, sales tax, and Punjab sales tax with relevant authorities. PEC registration not explicitly stated but typically required for installation work in Pakistan. Trading license/SECP registration implied by 'trading' requirement. Non-Pakistani firms may face restrictions under PPRA 2014 unless explicitly permitted.
