Enlistment of Chain Pharmacies on NESPAK Panel in Karachi

National Engineering Services Pakistan (Pvt.) Limited (NESPAK) is seeking to enlist chain pharmacies on its panel for providing medicines to its employees on a credit basis in Karachi. This procurement is specifically for pharmacies that have a strong presence in Karachi with at least eight branches. The scope involves supplying medicines regularly to NESPAK employees, ensuring timely delivery and credit facilities. Interested pharmacies must be licensed and registered with the relevant Board or Council and provide a certificate of registration with their bid. They must also be registered with the Income Tax Department and appear on the Active Taxpayers List of the Federal Board of Revenue. Practical experience of at least five years in pharmacy operations is required, supported by financial statements for the past three years. Pharmacies must submit an affidavit on stamp paper of Rs. 50 duly attested by an Oath Commissioner confirming they are not blacklisted or debarred by any government or semi-government entity. A bid security of Pak Rs. 50,000 in the form of CDR, Pay Order, or Demand Draft from a scheduled bank in Pakistan is mandatory and must reach NESPAK before the submission deadline. Bids will be evaluated primarily on the discount rates offered by the pharmacies, with the highest discount bidders being selected for enlistment. The bid security of unsuccessful bidders will be returned after signing the agreement with the selected pharmacies. Billing will be monthly, with applicable government taxes deducted at source. The submission deadline and address will be specified in the Invitation to Bid. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure the original bid security reaches NESPAK on time, as late submissions will be rejected as non-responsive. This tender offers a valuable opportunity for established pharmacies in Karachi to secure a long-term contract with a reputable organization by demonstrating financial strength, compliance, and competitive pricing.
