A single-item procurement for mango drying machinery valued at 5.82 million rupees under an export development research project.
The tender follows national competitive bidding with a two-envelope procedure, open to registered Pakistani firms. Registration across multiple tax authorities (SRB, FBR, GST, Income Tax) is mandatory, narrowing the eligible pool. Submission is electronic-only via EPADS with a tight timeline—bids close 02-11-2026, suggesting the university has defined technical specifications. This is a one-off equipment purchase for a government research facility, not a recurring contract. The mango drying sector focus indicates alignment with government export promotion strategy.
Who can bid: Bidders must hold valid SRB (Sales Tax Registration), FBR tax registration, GST registration, and Income Tax registration—all mandatory. Typically, firms must also be incorporated in Pakistan or registered with SECP for private companies. No restrictions on ownership or prior experience are explicitly stated, but the tender is open to interested firms meeting the stated registration requirements only.
