Construction of Residential Colony and Allied Facilities at 500KV HVAC CASA-1000 Grid Station Nowshera Azakhel

The National Grid Company of Pakistan (NGC) invites bids for the construction of a residential colony and allied facilities at the 500KV HVAC CASA-1000 Grid Station located in Nowshera Azakhel, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This project is funded through NGC's own resources and involves comprehensive civil works including site clearing, excavation, reinforced concrete, brickwork, finishing, plumbing, electrification, landscaping, and installation of furniture and fixtures as detailed in the Bill of Quantities. The scope covers construction of buildings, roads, water supply, sewerage, and electrical infrastructure to support the residential colony. Bidders must be registered with the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) in category C-2 with codes CE 01, 09 & 10 or have applied for renewal before bid submission. They must be on the Active Taxpayers List (ATL) of the Federal Board of Revenue and relevant provincial authorities, and not blacklisted by NGC, WAPDA, DISCOs, or any government/public department. Experience requirements include successful completion of similar civil works contracts totaling at least PKR 874 million within the last 10 years. Key personnel such as a Civil Engineer/Project Manager with valid PEC license and minimum 10 years experience, and a Site Supervisor with 5 years experience, are mandatory. The bid submission deadline is 01-06-2026 at 11:00 AM PST via e-PADS, with original Bid Security of PKR 18 million to be submitted in hard copy before the deadline. Technical bids will be opened publicly at 11:30 AM on the same day at the Chief Engineer (MP&M) NGC office in Lahore. Bidders should purchase the bidding documents for PKR 5,000 and may download them free from the NGC website, but purchase is compulsory for participation. The contract duration is 720 days from the date of commencement. A practical tip for bidders is to conduct a thorough site visit and familiarize themselves with local conditions, access, and material availability as no claims for compensation will be entertained later due to ignorance of site conditions. Also, ensure all required documents including affidavits, PEC licenses, and beneficial ownership declarations are complete and submitted timely to avoid disqualification. The bid security and performance security requirements are stringent and must be strictly adhered to. This tender offers a significant opportunity for qualified civil contractors to contribute to a key infrastructure project in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
