Bid solicitation documents, including detailed descriptions, bills of quantities, bid security requirements, evaluation criteria and other terms and conditions, can be downloaded from https://kp.eprocure.gov.pk until the bid submission deadline.

The required call deposit is 2% of the estimated cost and must be drawn in favour of the Hospital Director, MTI-QHAMC Nowshera. Conditional, doubtful, incomplete or overwritten tenders, and tenders without the call deposit, will be rejected. Contractors must enter their tender rates in both figures and words. Tenders will be evaluated on a percentage-above-or-below basis using Market Rate System 2025 and non-schedule items, according to government instructions. Only two digits after the decimal point will be considered for evaluation.

Bid security and additional security requirements follow KPPRA Notification No. S.R.O (14)/Vol: 1-24/2021-22/6058-71 dated 10 May 2022. Contractors bidding up to 10% below the engineer's estimate must provide bid security equal to 2% of that estimate. Contractors bidding more than 10% and up to 20% below must additionally provide security equal to 8% of the engineer's estimate. Failure to provide the required additional security makes the bid non-responsive and results in forfeiture of the 2% bid security, with the next lowest bidder considered.

For bids more than 20% below the engineer's estimate, additional security equal to the difference between the bid and the estimate must accompany the bid, together with detailed rate analysis. Failure to provide either requirement makes the bid non-responsive, and all securities submitted with that bid will be forfeited. If the rate analysis is not convincing, the head of the procuring entity may reject the bid as non-responsive without forfeiting securities, recording the reasons.

Following due diligence regarding the financial difference between bids, the procuring entity may award the contract to the next lowest bidder or initiate procurement afresh. After work commences, deposited additional security may be replaced with an equivalent bank guarantee from a scheduled bank. Additional security will be released in four equal instalments of 25%, upon completion of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the project.

The competent authority may reject any or all tenders with reasons under Rule 47 of KPPRA. Contact the Hospital Director at Qazi Hussain Ahmad Medical Complex (MTI), Mardan Road, near Kabul River, Nowshera. Telephone: 0923-9220414-29.
