Participating firms and contractors must be registered with the Pakistan Engineering Council in the relevant category and codes and hold a valid renewed PEC licence for financial year 2026–27.

Physical securities are not accepted. The lowest evaluated bidder must similarly submit a performance guarantee equal to 10% of the contract amount within 15 days of receiving the offer letter.

Financial proposals must quote the rate and total amount for each item, together with the grand total. Where arithmetic differences occur, the quoted item rates govern evaluation. Percentage rates above or below the estimated or DNIT cost are unacceptable and will make a bid non-responsive.

Successful contractors’ claims must be submitted electronically and processed through the Digital Measurement Book. Price-variation cost overruns are not admissible.
