Punjab C&W Tender for Assistant Commissioner Residences and District Attorney Office in Nankana Sahib

The Communication & Works Department, Government of Punjab, invites item-rate tenders against approved DNITs under Rule 38, Single-Stage Two-Envelope Bidding Procedure, for the following construction works in Nankana Sahib.

Eligible contractors and firms must have Pakistan Engineering Council registration renewed for financial year 2026-27, in Category C-4 or above, with specialized codes CE09 and CE10. Contractors must produce their original PEC licence or certificate showing the relevant category and specialized codes for qualification.

Procurement will be conducted through the Punjab e-Procurement System at https://ep.punjab.gov.pk, developed by PITB for the Punjab Procurement Regulatory Authority. Interested applicants and contractors must register on the system to participate. Tender documents containing requirements, terms and conditions are available to registered bidders through https://ep.punjab.gov.pk and the PPRA website at http://ppra.punjab.gov.pk. Tender documents comprising the DNIT must be submitted electronically according to the schedule below. Manual bids will not be accepted.

The 5% bid security must be submitted electronically through https://ep.punjab.gov.pk in the manner prescribed by the e-Procurement System. Physical financial instruments, including Call Deposit Receipts, will not be accepted. Only electronically submitted bid security will be valid under Punjab Procurement Regulatory Authority rules. Bid submission will be enabled only after the required PSID has been generated and the prescribed bid security submitted.

Conditional tenders will be rejected. Online bids will be opened at the scheduled date and time in the office of the Commissioner, Lahore Division, Lahore, by the respective Tenders Opening Committee, in the presence of intending contractors or their representatives holding attested powers of attorney and opting to attend with valid PEC licences.

Under PPRA Circular No. L&M(PPRA)10-1/2011-008595, dated 11 October 2024, bidders must quote rates against every item of the DNIT/BOQs rather than a percentage rate, and completely fill the rate analysis, summary and sub-summary pages in their financial bids. Incomplete financial bids, including blank DNIT/BOQ entries or blank rate analysis, summary or sub-summary pages, will be declared non-responsive and excluded from determination of the lowest evaluated bidder. If an item's total amount differs mathematically from the grand total, the quoted rates against individual items will govern evaluation.

Under Chapter VIII, Acceptance of Bids and Award of Contracts, Serial No. 56 of PPRA Rules 2014, the successful bidder must furnish an electronic performance guarantee of up to 10% of the contract amount through https://ep.punjab.gov.pk within 15 days, in the prescribed manner. Failure to do so will result in cancellation of the lowest bidder's tender and forfeiture of earnest money in favour of the Government.

The procuring agency may reject all bids or proposals at any time before acceptance, in accordance with PPRA rules. On request, it will communicate the grounds for rejection to a supplier or contractor that submitted a bid or proposal, but is not required to justify those grounds.

The PPRA tender page is http://eproc.punjab.gov.pk/ViewTender.aspx. The response period will be calculated exclusively from the date of publication of the advertisement on the PPRA website. If the Government announces a holiday, or the scheduled day is otherwise a holiday, the next working day will be used for receipt and opening of tenders.
