Auction of Signboard and Advertising Tax Collection Rights by Tehsil Metropolitan Government Peshawar

The Directorate of West Zone, Tehsil Metropolitan Government Peshawar, invites bids for the fourth auction of signboard and advertising tax collection rights for financial year 2026–27. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. Collection rights are restricted to the jurisdiction of the West Zone.

The auction will be conducted through the E-Baldiya electronic auction system. Interested bidders must be registered with the Local Council Board, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, for financial year 2026–27. Bidders should consult the auction details and conditions available through https://cfmis.lgkp.gov.pk/accounts/login/ before participating.

The initial bidding schedule is 16, 17 and 18 November 2026. A further schedule of 23, 24 and 25 November 2026 is also stated. Online bids may be entered until midnight on the closing day. The electronic auction uses an anti-sniping mechanism: a bid received near the closing time extends the bidding period, and extensions continue while further qualifying bids are received.

The successful bidder must present the required original bidding documents, national identity card and registration licence to the West Zone office. Earnest money must be furnished through a call deposit or bank guarantee in favour of the relevant West Zone directorate. Possession of the collection contract will be given after the required advance payment and security have been deposited.

The payment conditions require 50% of the annual contract amount to be deposited initially, with the remaining 50% payable in three equal instalments. The successful bidder must also pay applicable taxes in addition to the bid amount. The notice states tax rates of 10% for filers and 20% for non-filers. Any additional taxes imposed by the provincial or federal government during the contract period will also apply.

Persons owing arrears to local government institutions are ineligible to participate. If a successful bidder is subsequently found to be a defaulter, the award may be cancelled and the earnest money forfeited. The successful bidder must execute the required agreement within seven days. The competent authority reserves the right to reject one or all bids for recorded reasons.

Further information may be obtained during office hours from the Directorate of West Zone, Tehsil Metropolitan Government Peshawar. The stated office hours are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
