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.
A Rs. 27.5 crore, 24-month infrastructure and operational deployment contract to establish environmental protection facilities across 10 Punjab zones (Lahore-focused).
This is a large-scale, government-led environmental capability build—likely involving civil works, equipment procurement, and staffing infrastructure rather than routine maintenance. The tight 11-month bid window and mandatory PEC specialization codes suggest competitive, pre-qualified bidding. Single-stage two-envelope format reduces negotiation scope. One-off establishment project, not recurring services.
Who can bid: Bidders must hold current PEC License (renewed for current FY) with relevant specialization codes matching project category—lacking specified codes means automatic rejection at qualification stage. Typically, NTN and active SECP registration also required for financial credentials. PPRA Rule 38 governs procurement; no other authority restrictions stated.
