Tehsil Municipal Administration Abbottabad invites sealed electronic bids through the E-PADS system for construction of a waiting area at the Service Delivery Center Abbottabad. The estimated cost is Rs. 6,000,000, with earnest money of Rs. 120,000. Procurement will follow the single-stage, single-envelope procedure under the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Procurement Rules 2014.

Eligible firms and contractors must hold registration documents for financial year 2026-27, a valid Pakistan Engineering Council licence, Local Government Department registration, an NTN certificate and a Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority registration certificate. Bidders must be registered with KPRA under the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Procurement Regulatory Authority Finance Act 2013. A CNIC copy and the applicable bid security, additional call deposit receipts and detailed rate analysis must accompany the required documentation.

Bidding documents and the tender form can be downloaded from the official E-PADS website at https://portalkp.eprocure.gov.pk after publication of the notice. The completed tender form and supporting documents must be uploaded through E-PADS. Original bid security, additional security where applicable, and mandatory registration documents must reach the Office of the Tehsil Officer (Infrastructure), TMA Abbottabad, near Jinnah Road, Abbottabad, before the bid closing time. The deadline for online clarification is 18 November 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Call deposits must be prepared after publication of the notice and before bidding closes, in favour of the Tehsil Municipal Officer, TMA Abbottabad.

Electronic bids must be submitted by 25 November 2026 at 12:00 noon. Bids will open on the same date at 12:00 noon.

Contractors quoting up to 10% below the Engineer's Estimate must submit bid security equal to 2% of that estimate. For bids more than 10% and up to 20% below the estimate, the successful contractor must provide additional security equal to 8% of the Engineer's Estimate, in addition to the 2% bid security. Failure to provide the required additional security will make the bid non-responsive, and the bid security will be forfeited in favour of the government.

Bids more than 20% below the Engineer's Estimate must include additional security equal to the difference between the submitted bid and the Engineer's Estimate, supported by detailed rate analysis. Failure to submit the required additional security makes the bid non-responsive. An abnormally low bid may be rejected if the procuring entity finds the rate analysis unsatisfactory. Securities accompanying such non-responsive bids may be forfeited. Bid securities of the first, second and third lowest electronic bidders will be retained until bid approval.

Rates must be stated clearly in both words and figures. Incomplete, improperly completed or materially inaccurate submissions will be treated as non-responsive under KPPRA rules. Material sourcing and testing are the contractor's responsibility and expense. Work orders are subject to availability of funds. A tie between responsive bidders will be decided by a draw. Applicable future provincial government or competent-authority notifications will apply, and additional conditions in the bidding notice will be implemented under KPPRA rules.
