Seven distinct civil works packages totalling approximately PKR 40 million for Karachi cantonment infrastructure.
Mix of scheduled maintenance (roof improvement at shopping mall) and recarpeting across dispersed ward locations. Tender released through e-PADS suggests formal procurement; requires PEC registration and taxpayer status. Individual work values modest (PKR 2–10 million range), typical for municipal authority contracts.
