This procurement is planned for the financial year 2025-26 and is aimed at supplying essential dry ration items to support field staff operations in Vehari. The contract includes the supply of key ration items such as Atta (18 kg), Ghee or Cooking Oil (1 kg/litre), Sugar (1 kg), and Tea (210 grams) with specifications equivalent to well-known brands like Dalda, Habib, Lipton, or Supreme. Approximately 68 ration packs per month are required for a period of 12 months, with the possibility of extension for an additional year subject to mutual consent and approval by the Competent Authority. The delivery location is PASSCO Godowns on Khanewal Road, Vehari. Bidders must ensure compliance with all technical specifications and quality standards as outlined in the bidding documents. Eligibility criteria include valid NTN and ATL registration, three years of relevant business experience, submission of bid security, and declarations regarding non-blacklisting, non-collusion, and provision of standard quality goods. The bidding process follows the Least Cost Based Selection (LCBS) technique and requires online submission through EPADS v2.0 by the deadline of Friday, May 15, 2026, at 11:30 AM. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure timely registration on EPADS v2.0 and submission of the original bid security physically at the designated PASSCO office before the deadline, as failure to do so will result in disqualification. Bidders should also carefully review all annexures and declarations to avoid any grounds for rejection. The contract emphasizes strict adherence to delivery schedules and quality inspections by PASSCO's Inspection Committee. This tender offers a significant opportunity for suppliers experienced in food commodity supply to engage with a reputable government entity in Punjab with clear terms and conditions, including penalties for non-compliance and provisions for contract termination.
