The Town Committee Setharja in Khairpur, Sindh, is procuring construction works for multiple development schemes under the financial year 2025-2026. This procurement includes the construction of surface drains, culverts, RCC slabs over water courses, bridges, paver blocks, and brick pavements across various wards and villages such as Islami Mohalla, Village Mevo Shaikh, Village Makkan Khan Kuber, and others within the jurisdiction of Town Committee Setharja. The technical scope covers civil works involving surface drainage systems, multiple culverts (6 and 2 nos), RCC slab construction, bridges near Sim Nala, and extensive paving works including paver blocks and brick pavements. The projects are spread across wards 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 11, reflecting a comprehensive infrastructure upgrade. The estimated costs for individual schemes range from PKR 403,500 to PKR 2,960,000, with a total estimated cost reaching nearly PKR 3 million for the largest bridge construction. Eligible bidders must be registered with PEC where applicable, hold active FBR and Sindh Revenue Board registrations, and have at least five years of relevant experience. They should demonstrate prior completion of similar works amounting to at least 80% of the estimated cost or two projects each worth 50% of the estimated cost. A minimum turnover of PKR 4 million over the last five years and bank statements for the last three years are required. Bid security of 4.5% of the bid value in the form of pay order, bank draft, or CDR is mandatory. Firms must not be blacklisted and must submit an affidavit to that effect. The tender fee is PKR 3000 non-refundable. Bids must be submitted electronically via the E-Pak Acquisition and Disposal System (EPADS) by 29th June 2026 at 10:00 AM. The technical and financial bids will be opened on the same day at 11:00 AM in the presence of the procurement committee and bidders' representatives. In case of holidays or bid rejection, a second submission date is scheduled from 29th June to 9th July 2026. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure the bid security and tender fee instruments are prepared well in advance and submitted before the deadline to avoid disqualification. Also, carefully review the detailed terms and conditions available on the Sindh e-procurement portal to comply fully with the SPPRA rules and avoid conditional or incomplete bids.
