Bid security and below-estimate bids:

1. Contractors quoting up to 10% below the Engineer's Estimate must submit bid security equal to 2% of the Engineer's Estimate.
2. Contractors quoting more than 10% and up to 20% below the Engineer's Estimate must submit additional security equal to 8% of the Engineer's estimated cost along with their bids, in addition to the 2% bid security. A bid without the required additional security will be treated as non-responsive, and the 2% bid security will be forfeited in favour of the Government. The second-lowest bidder, and subsequent bidders where applicable, will then be considered.
3. Contractors quoting more than 20% below the Engineer's Estimate must submit additional security equal to the difference between the submitted bid and the Engineer's Estimate, together with a detailed rate analysis. A bid without the detailed rate analysis and/or the required additional security will be treated as non-responsive. All securities submitted with such a bid will be forfeited in favour of the Government, and the second-lowest bidder and subsequent bidders will be considered accordingly.
4. If the procuring entity finds the detailed rate analysis unconvincing, its head may declare the bid non-responsive without forfeiting bid securities, recording the reasons.
5. The procuring entity may offer the contract to the next-lowest bidder after due diligence concerning the financial difference between the bids, or may advertise the procurement opportunity afresh.
6. After the successful bidder commences work, the procuring entity may replace deposited additional security with a bank guarantee for the same amount from a scheduled bank if the security is not already in bank-guarantee form.

Bidders must attach evidence of enlistment with the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority, their C&W Department enlistment document, and current registration with the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC).
