NHA is bundling 15 separate emergency snow/slides clearance contracts across four national highways in KP mountainous terrain (Dir Upper, Chitral, Swat).
Individual contract values span Rs. 3.43–13.26 million; total procurement ~Rs. 143.2 million. This is recurring seasonal maintenance, not one-off work. Tight deadline (Nov 2026) and mandatory EPAD e-bidding with no hardcopy fallback suggests NHA expects mature contractors. Bid security scales with contract value (Rs. 64k–265k). Terrain difficulty and winter urgency likely filter to experienced hill-road specialists.

EPAD (PPRA) e-procurement account mandatory; no manual bids accepted. Typically, contractors also need turnover/financial proof, plant/equipment lists, and prior similar project experience.
