Construction of Cricket Arena and Futsal Court by District Council Pakpattan

District Council Pakpattan invites electronic bids from eligible contractors and firms for construction of a cricket arena and futsal court at Pakpattan. The estimated cost is Rs. 60.000 million, and the bid security amount is Rs. 3,000,000. Procurement will be conducted through the Punjab e-Procurement System under the Punjab Procurement Rules, 2014, as amended.

Contractors and firms must be duly enlisted or renewed with the Pakistan Engineering Council for financial year 2026-27, wherever applicable, and meet the eligibility requirements in the bidding documents. Separate bidding documents containing instructions, eligibility criteria, specifications, bills of quantities and contract conditions can be downloaded free of cost from the Punjab e-Procurement System and the PPRA Punjab website from 28 October 2026.

Bids must be submitted electronically through the Punjab e-Procurement System by 20 November 2026 at 12:30 PM. Electronic opening will take place the same day at 1:30 PM at the office of District Council Pakpattan, in the presence of bidders or their authorized representatives. Submissions by email, courier, post or hand will not be accepted. If the submission date falls on a public holiday, the next working day will be the closing date at the same time.

The single-stage, two-envelope procedure will apply. An encrypted electronic file will constitute submission in an envelope. Only technically responsive bidders will qualify for financial bid opening; financial bids of technically nonresponsive bidders will remain unopened in e-PADS. Bids must remain valid for 120 days from opening unless otherwise specified in the bidding documents.

Bid security equal to 5% of the estimated cost must be furnished exclusively through a Digital Bank Guarantee via the Punjab e-Procurement System. Bidders must generate a PSID through the portal and arrange for a scheduled bank to issue and transmit the guarantee through SWIFT MT760 in favour of the Chief Officer, District Council Pakpattan. The issuing bank must use the correct tender reference number and PSID when transmitting to the designated advising bank. Physical securities will not be accepted, and bids without a valid Digital Bank Guarantee will be rejected.

The successful bidder must furnish performance security equal to 10% of the contract price through SWIFT MT760 under Rule 56. This security will be released following successful contract completion in accordance with contract conditions.

Contractors must quote item-wise rates rather than percentages and complete every DNIT/BOQ entry, rate analysis, summary and sub-summary, including correct item amounts and totals. Incomplete financial bids will be nonresponsive. Bid withdrawal during validity or failure to execute the accepted contract may result in security forfeiture. False information or documents will lead to disqualification, blacklisting and recommendations to PPRA and PEC. The procuring agency may reject all bids before acceptance under Rule 35. The notice is issued by the Chief Officer, District Council Pakpattan.
