Supply and Installation of IT Equipment for Excise and Taxation Department Islamabad

The Excise and Taxation Department, Islamabad Capital Territory, invites sealed tenders from reputed private limited companies with extensive experience in supplying and installing IT equipment in the public sector. Proposals must reach the office of the Excise and Taxation Officer, Motor Registering Authority, Islamabad, by 16 November 2026 at 11:00. Opening will take place on the same day at 11:45 in the presence of representatives of bidding companies. Proposals must remain valid until 30 June 2027.

The bidding process is described as the PPRA single-stage, one-envelope procedure with prequalification. Bids must be submitted in a single package containing a technical proposal and a financial proposal. Firms will initially be prequalified through evaluation of their technical proposals. The envelope marked Financial Proposal will remain unopened in the department's custody during technical evaluation. Technical proposals will be assessed against requirements established in advance, without reference to price. Proposals that do not meet the department's requirements will be rejected, and amendments during technical evaluation will not be permitted.

Bidders must clearly quote item-wise rates in the financial proposal using the prescribed proforma. Financial bids will be evaluated lot-wise, considering the samples and rates offered. Participating firms must provide samples of the items included in the lists; proposals without samples will be rejected. Only technically qualified bidders may participate in financial bid opening. Financial bids of technically disqualified bidders will be returned unopened.

A refundable bid security of Rs. 1,000,000 must accompany the technical proposal as a pay order or bank draft in favour of the Excise and Taxation Officer, Islamabad. Cheques will not be accepted. Technical proposals without bid security will be rejected. The successful bidder's bid security will be released after completion of the current financial year. Bidders must provide their latest professional tax registration certificate for Islamabad. Blacklisted firms are ineligible.

Bidders must register on EPADS v2.0 and submit bids through PPRA's e-procurement portal at www.eprocure.gov.pk. Original e-PADS and tender documents must also be submitted to the Excise and Taxation Officer before the closing time, along with samples. Every page of both proposals must be signed and stamped. All documents other than the financial bid must accompany the technical proposal; failure to comply will result in rejection during evaluation.

Quoted specifications and supplied items must match the required quality, quantity and specifications. Quality will be checked at delivery, and unsatisfactory or substandard items will be returned immediately. Payment will follow physical inspection of delivered items by the department's Purchase Committee against the supply order. Income tax and other government taxes will be deducted at source under applicable rules. Nonacceptance of any bidding-document clause may result in rejection during evaluation. The department reserves the right to accept or reject the tender wholly or partly under PPRA rules and to proceed against vendors under the relevant provisions.
