A single-year food supply contract for a government hostel housing hearing-impaired boys in Bahawalpur worth Rs 2.35 million.
The contract requires weekly advance stock delivery of storable items plus daily fresh supplies (meat, vegetables, milk) to exacting quality and timing specifications, with Quality Inspection Officer oversight. Laboratory testing costs fall to the bidder. Delivery logistics are tightly specified with early morning requisition windows and CCTV verification requirements. This appears a one-off annual contract rather than recurring framework, suggesting annual rebidding.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with FBR for Sales Tax and Income Tax and with Punjab Revenue Authority for Provincial Sales Tax. Firms must not be blacklisted from any Punjab government department. Previous satisfactory experience with the school or similar institutions is preferred. Typically, in food supply contracts, SECP registration or sole proprietorship documentation is also required, though not explicitly stated here.
