Corrigendum: Additional Security Requirement for Bids More Than 20 Percent Below Engineer Estimate in C&W Division Lakki Marwat Works

This corrigendum is issued by the Communication and Works Division Lakki Marwat regarding previously published advertisements INF(P) 3821/26 and INF(P) 3805/26. The amendment specifically addresses the requirement for contractors quoting bids more than 20 percent below the Engineer Estimate for civil works projects in Lakki Marwat. The revised instruction now mandates that any contractor submitting a bid more than 20 percent below the Engineer Estimate must also submit an additional security equal to the differential amount between the submitted bid and the Engineer Estimate, along with a detailed rate analysis. Items being procured: - Civil works projects under the jurisdiction of C&W Division Lakki Marwat (specific item list not provided in the notice) If a bid is more than 20 percent below and is not accompanied by the required detailed rate analysis and/or the additional security, the bid will be considered non-responsive. All securities submitted with such non-responsive bids will be forfeited in favour of the Government, and the second lowest bidder and so on will be considered accordingly. This replaces the previous instruction which simply declared such bids non-responsive as per KPRA Peshawar Notification No. PPRA / Enf/W.G/25-19/2026-27/2127 dated 03-07-2026. All other terms and conditions of the original tender remain unchanged. Bidders are advised to carefully review their bid submissions to ensure compliance with the revised security and documentation requirements. A practical tip: Always prepare a comprehensive rate analysis and arrange the required additional security in advance if you intend to quote significantly below the Engineer Estimate, as incomplete submissions will lead to forfeiture of securities and disqualification.
