Performance guarantee: In accordance with the direction of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, a performance guarantee of up to 10%, where required, will be accepted as a CDR, pay order, bank draft or bank guarantee, valid for three months beyond the completion date. Performance guarantees issued by insurance companies will not be accepted.

Failure by the lowest bidder to furnish the required performance guarantee or quality assurance security within the stipulated period constitutes grounds for rejecting the bid and/or annulling the award.
