This procurement covers deployment, provision, and ongoing support of these SIMs across LESCO operational areas including Lahore, Sheikhupura, Nankana Sahib, Okara, and Kasur. The scope involves supplying telecom-grade SIMs capable of reliable connectivity for smart metering solutions, ensuring network scalability and redundancy to support uninterrupted data transmission. Interested firms must be registered with SECP and hold a valid Pakistan Telecommunication Authority license for telecom services including 2G, 3G, and 4G. The firm should demonstrate availability of M2M SIMs with technical details and provide network coverage maps confirming service in LESCO's jurisdiction. ISO 27001 certification is mandatory, reflecting the importance of information security in this project. Firms blacklisted by any government or semi-government entity are ineligible. Applications must be submitted in sealed envelopes with all required documents and evidence as per the Pre-Qualification Documents. The deadline for submission is **30-04-2026 at 10:30 am** at the office of the Chief Engineer (Material Management), LESCO Headquarters, Room No 312, 3rd Floor, 22-A Queens Road, Lahore. Only pre-qualified firms will be invited to participate in the subsequent framework agreement procurement. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure that all technical and compliance documents, especially network coverage maps and ISO certification, are complete and clearly presented. This will avoid disqualification at the technical evaluation stage and improve chances of pre-qualification. Early submission is advised to accommodate any clarifications or corrections before the deadline.
