Annual Maintenance and Refurbishment Services for PMSA Ships and Equipment

The Pakistan Maritime Security Agency (PMSA) Karachi is procuring comprehensive annual maintenance and refurbishment services for its fleet and associated equipment. This procurement covers a wide range of technical and repair works including maintenance of Reverse Osmosis (RO) plants, refurbishment of officer cabins, repair and maintenance of marine gearboxes, aviation fuel systems, propulsion machinery sensors, chiller systems, electrical and communication equipment, CCTV monitoring systems, critical engine items, and security installations such as concertina razor wire and water tight doors. The scope includes monthly technical visits, replacement of consumables like filters and chemicals, complete refurbishment of cabins with furniture and lighting upgrades, detailed mechanical and electrical repairs, installation of new components such as AVR cards and remote radio units, and rigging and securing of cables for CCTV systems. All works require adherence to OEM specifications and warranty provisions, with a typical warranty period of one year. Eligible firms must be registered with FBR and SBR, possess relevant experience in maritime and shipboard maintenance, and comply with technical and financial bid submission requirements under the Single Stage Two Envelope procedure. Bidders should prepare separate sealed envelopes for technical and commercial proposals, ensuring all documents including NTN/STRN, company profiles, and past performance certificates are included. Earnest money in the form of pay order is mandatory, with 2% for registered firms and 5% for non-registered firms. The tender fee is Rs 7,500 for this procedure. The submission deadline is strictly enforced, and late bids will not be entertained. The tender box is located at the main gate of HQ PMSA Karachi. A practical tip for bidders is to conduct a thorough site inspection onboard the ships to accurately assess the extent of work and required materials. This will help in preparing a compliant and competitive technical proposal, avoiding disqualification due to incomplete or non-responsive bids. Firms should also ensure their financial offers clearly separate taxes and duties as per government regulations to avoid rejection. This tender represents a significant opportunity to engage with a premier maritime security organization and contribute to the operational readiness of Pakistan's naval assets.
