This tender invites qualified suppliers and service providers in Islamabad under the National Telecommunication Corporation (NTC) for critical telecommunication infrastructure upgrades in the Electronics & Appliances and IT & Office Equipment categories. The scope includes supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of 800-AH battery banks at the NTC Regional HQs Building, along with the re-routing of existing Optical Fiber Cable (OFC) services due to underpass construction at a key intersection in Islamabad. The battery banks are essential for uninterrupted power backup at the NTC site, requiring high-quality materials and precise engineering to ensure reliability. The OFC re-routing involves careful planning and execution to maintain network integrity while accommodating civil works at Khayaban-e-Iqbal and 9th Avenue (Shaheen Chowk). Both tasks demand technical expertise and adherence to stringent standards to minimize downtime and service disruption. Bidders must hold valid PEC registration relevant to telecommunication works and maintain active taxpayer status with the FBR for the financial year 2025-26. It is advisable to verify the latest ATL status and ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements before submission.
