The Local Government and Rural Development Department AJ&K is procuring construction services for two bridges in District Kotli. This project is part of the Construction/Retrofitting of Bridges in AJ&K initiative funded by GoAJ&K. The scope involves civil works for bridge construction, requiring experienced contractors with relevant PEC registration in category C3 and above (Code CE-02(i,ii,v,viii,x)). Bidders must be registered with PEC in the relevant category and have valid experience in similar projects. Registration with FBR or AJK CBR and an active ATL tax status is mandatory. The procurement follows the Single Stage-Two Envelope procedure, requiring separate sealed envelopes for Technical and Financial Proposals. The Technical Bid will be opened first, followed by the Financial Bid of technically qualified bidders. The estimated cost is bold PKR 168.222 Million with a bid security of PKR 5.047 Million. Bidders are advised to conduct a thorough site visit before submission. The bid submission deadline is 15th May 2026 at 11:00 AM, with technical bids opening at 11:30 AM on the same day. Bids must be delivered to the Deputy Director Local Govt. & Rural Dev. Department, District Kotli office near PWD Rest House Kotli. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure the bid security is submitted as per instructions and to enclose the bank receipt with the bid. This will avoid disqualification due to incomplete bid security documentation. Also, obtaining bidding documents early and preparing a compliant technical proposal will enhance chances of success. The earnest money and CDR requirements must be strictly followed as per AJ&K PPRA rules.
