The laptops must feature Core i5 13th Gen processors, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD storage, 15.6" FHD displays, and come with carrying bags and a one-year verifiable warranty. The desktops require Core i5 13th Gen processors, 8 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD storage, 19" LED displays, and include keyboard and mouse accessories, also with a one-year warranty. Bidders must be registered with the FBR for sales and income tax, be active on the tax payer list, and provide affidavits confirming no blacklisting or litigation. The procurement process follows a Single Stage-Single Envelope procedure through the E-PADS system. Bids must be valid for at least 90 days after the financial bid opening. Earnest Money in the form of a Bid Security equal to 3% of the total quoted value is required, payable to NUST Islamabad. The delivery, installation, and commissioning period is set between 4 to 6 weeks from the purchase order date. The tender emphasizes strict compliance with specifications and requires vendors to provide a one-year contract for repair and maintenance coverage. Bidders should submit both electronic bids via E-PADS and a hard copy at the time of bid opening. The bid opening is scheduled for 12 May 2026 at 11:30 AM in the P&LP Directorate Conference Room, NUST H-12 Campus. Interested suppliers should ensure all required documents are attached and bids are complete to avoid rejection. A practical tip for bidders is to carefully review Annex-B for the required documentation checklist and ensure all items are properly labeled and submitted. This will help avoid disqualification due to incomplete bids. Also, timely submission through E-PADS is critical as late bids cannot be uploaded. This tender offers a significant opportunity for qualified suppliers to engage with a prestigious institution in Islamabad and contribute to its IT infrastructure enhancement.
