The State Life Insurance Corporation of Pakistan (SLIC), Real Estate Division, invites bids for providing skilled manpower services for fire safety and patrolling across its buildings located in Karachi, Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, Larkana, Sukkur, and Rahim Yar Khan. This procurement is specific to the financial year 2025-26 and aims to ensure round-the-clock fire safety through deployment of trained fire supervisors and firemen in multiple shifts as per client requirements. The scope includes provision of fire supervisors in two 12-hour shifts and firemen in three 8-hour shifts, equipped with necessary firefighting gear and uniforms. The contractor will also be responsible for fire safety training, incident reporting, coordination with government agencies, and maintenance of firefighting equipment. Eligible bidders must be registered with FBR, SRB, EOBI, SESSI, and FPAP, and must not have received more than three unsatisfactory service letters from SLIC in the last ten years. The technical bid evaluation includes criteria such as years of establishment, staff strength, past experience, current contracts, financial strength, and valid membership certificates from recognized fire protection associations. Bids must be submitted online through EPADS v2.0 by the deadline of June 3, 2026, 11:00 AM, with original bid security submitted physically to the State Life office in Karachi. The submission deadline and bid opening times are strictly enforced, and manual submissions are not accepted. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure timely registration and familiarization with the EPADS v2.0 system to avoid disqualification due to technical submission errors. The contract period is one year with payments made monthly based on actual deployment and satisfactory service. The estimated manpower includes 5 fire supervisors and 52 firemen, with the possibility of adjustment as per State Life's requirements. The earnest money and performance guarantees are critical components of the bid, and failure to comply will result in disqualification or forfeiture. This tender offers a significant opportunity for qualified security and fire safety service providers to engage with a major public sector corporation in Sindh province.
