This tender invites contractors registered with the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) for the construction of twelve residential flats, comprising six Category-IV and six Category-V units, along with all allied civil works at the 132KV Grid Station located in Allama Iqbal Industrial City (AIIC-II), Faisalabad. The Faisalabad Electric Supply Company (FESCO) is overseeing this project, which demands specialized civil engineering expertise and adherence to PEC Category C4 standards with specialization code CE-10. The site in Faisalabad presents typical industrial zone challenges, requiring durable construction materials and precise execution to meet the operational needs of the grid station. Bidders must hold a valid PEC registration renewed for the 2025-26 fiscal year and demonstrate experience by having completed at least two similar contracts within the last ten years, each valued at a minimum of 40% of the estimated cost. Compliance with tax regulations is mandatory, including active status on the Federal Board of Revenue's Active Taxpayer List (ATL) and registration with the Punjab Revenue Authority for sales tax. Financial strength is assessed through an average annual turnover of at least half the tender value over the past three years, supported by audited financial statements and bank statements evidencing cash or equivalents equal to 10% of the contract value. The tender requires submission of a bid security amounting to 5% of the Bill of Quantities (BOQ) value, with the original Call Deposit Receipt (CDR) to be submitted physically one day before the bid opening. Bids will be submitted electronically via the E-PADS platform and opened publicly at the Project Director GSC FESCO office in Faisalabad on 27th March 2026 at 11:30 AM for technical bids and 1:30 PM for financial bids. The tender documents must be signed, stamped, and numbered sequentially. Ensure your PEC registration and tax documentation are current and complete before bidding. The bid security submission timing is critical; failure to submit the original CDR on time will result in bid rejection. The project director's office is the official point for physical submissions and bid opening. For technical difficulties with E-PADS, contact the PPRA team in Islamabad. Pro-Tip: Double-check the bid security validity period and ensure it extends 28 days beyond bid validity to avoid disqualification. Also, verify the exact PEC specialization code CE-10 to match your registration to prevent technical rejection.
