The original tender form, original bid security and detailed rate analysis, where applicable, must reach the office of the Director General, Galiyat Development Authority, ZTBL Building, Main Mansehra Road, Abbottabad, by courier or registered mail. Alterations, overwriting and discrepancies between electronic submissions and hard copies will make bids non-responsive. Rates may be quoted above, below or at par with the engineer's estimate.

Bids for both packages must be submitted by 11:00 AM on 27 November 2026 and will open at 12:00 noon that day. Contractors or their representatives may attend the electronic bid opening.

Bid security must be a call deposit receipt in favour of Director General GDA Abbottabad. A non-refundable bidding entry fee of 0.03%, also payable by CDR in favour of Director General GDA, must accompany the bid. Bids up to 10% below the engineer's estimate require 2% security. Bids more than 10% and up to 20% below require additional security of 8% of the engineer's estimated cost. Bids more than 20% below require additional security equal to the difference exceeding 20% below, together with detailed rate analysis. Required additional security must accompany the bid; insufficient security or unacceptable rate analysis may result in rejection and forfeiture.

Bid-security instruments must be prepared after publication of the NIT and before bid closing. The authority may reject an unconvincing rate analysis or offer the contract to the next lowest bidder after financial due diligence. False, materially inaccurate or incomplete information may lead to disqualification and debarment proceedings. Tied responsive bids may be decided by a final free toss.
