The Office of the Executive Engineer, C&W Division Karak, Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, invites electronic bids from eligible firms and bidders under the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Procurement Regulatory Authority Procurement Rules 2014. Procurement will follow the single-stage, single-envelope E-PAD procedure.

The work is construction of BTR Warana Zalani Banda Road, under the construction, improvement, rehabilitation and widening of BT roads in Kohat Division, ADP No. 1746/251391, subhead 1. The estimated cost is Rs. 25.000 million. Contractors must hold Pakistan Engineering Council category C-5 or above. The completion period will be as specified in the work order.

The deadline for submission of financial bids is 19 November 2026 at 12:00 noon. Financial bids will be opened on the same day at 12:30 PM. Bidding documents and instructions to bidders can be downloaded from the C&W website, www.cwd.gkp.pk, up to one day before the opening date, corresponding to 18 November 2026.

Bid security is 2% of the estimated cost. Contractors quoting up to 10% below the engineer's estimate must submit security equal to 2% of that estimate. Contractors quoting more than 10% and up to 20% below the engineer's estimate must submit an additional 8% security against the estimated cost, alongside the 2% bid security. A bid without the required additional security will be treated as non-responsive, its 2% bid security forfeited to the government, and the next lowest bidder considered accordingly.

Contractors quoting more than 20% below the engineer's estimate must submit additional security equal to the difference between their bid and the engineer's estimate, together with detailed rate analysis. Failure to provide the required analysis or additional security will make the bid non-responsive, and all securities accompanying that bid will be forfeited. If the rate analysis does not satisfy the procuring entity, its head may reject the bid as non-responsive without forfeiting bid securities, recording reasons for the decision.

Following due diligence concerning the financial difference between bids, the procuring entity may offer the contract to the next lowest bidder or advertise the procurement afresh. After work commences, additional security may be replaced with a bank guarantee of the same amount from a scheduled bank if it was initially deposited in another form.

Bidders must be enlisted with the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority and the C&W Department and hold current PEC registration. The competent authority reserves the right to reject any or all bids by assigning cogent reasons. Contact the Executive Engineer, C&W Division Karak, at 0927-210783.
