This tender is specifically for construction and civil works at the hydropower site, which is a significant infrastructure project under the provincial government’s energy development initiatives. The scope includes various civil engineering tasks as detailed in the bidding documents, which bidders can obtain from PEDO House in Peshawar or download via the E-PAK Acquisition and Disposal System (EPADS). The project requires bidders to have a valid Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) license in category C3 or above, ensuring technical capability for such infrastructure works. Additionally, bidders must be registered with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority (KPRA) and Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), complying with all fiscal and regulatory requirements. The tender process follows a Single Stage Two Envelope procedure, requiring submission of both Technical and Financial Bids. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for April 30, 2026, at 1100 hours at PEDO House, Peshawar, providing an opportunity for bidders to clarify any queries. The final bid submission deadline is May 14, 2026, by 1400 hours through EPADS, with hard copies also required for evaluation purposes. Bidders must submit a bid security of 2% of the engineer’s estimate via Bank Draft or Bank Guarantee from a scheduled bank, valid for 28 days beyond the bid validity period. It is important to note that bids not submitted through EPADS will be declared non-responsive. The employer reserves the right to reject any or all bids prior to acceptance. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure timely registration and download of bidding documents from EPADS, as well as strict adherence to submission deadlines and bid security requirements. This will avoid disqualification due to procedural lapses and enhance chances of successful participation in this prestigious hydropower project.
