This corrigendum concerns **Pakistan Railways Concrete Sleeper Factories Directorate**, Headquarters Office Lahore, and amends the bid submission and opening date for Tender No. 686-W/76/CSF/2025. The opportunity is restricted to prequalified firms, companies, or joint ventures seeking to undertake the outsourcing, operation, and management of Pakistan Railways concrete sleeper factories under a public-private-partnership concession arrangement.

The named factory locations and scope are: Sr# 1, Sukkur Concrete Sleeper Factory, including rehabilitation, upgradation, maintenance, and operation during the concession period; Sr# 2, Khanewal Concrete Sleeper Factory, including rehabilitation, upgradation, maintenance, and operation during the concession period; and Sr# 3, Kohat Cantt Concrete Sleeper Factory, including rehabilitation, upgradation, maintenance, and operation during the concession period. The bidder is expected to review the original tender documents for production requirements, technical standards, plant condition, staffing, utilities, performance obligations, concession terms, and responsibility for capital and operating expenditure. The notice specifically refers to prequalified firms, companies, and joint ventures. Applicants should therefore confirm their prequalification status and carefully review the original tender for eligibility, bid security or earnest money, required CDR, tax registration, Active Taxpayer List status, financial capacity, relevant factory or manufacturing experience, and documentary requirements. No deposit, reserve price, estimated cost, or bid-security amount is stated in this corrigendum. The amended bid or tender submission and opening date is **27 August 2026**, replacing the existing date of 10 August 2026. The second pre-bid meeting will be held on **17 August 2026 at 11:00 AM** at the office of the Managing Director, Concrete Sleeper Factories, **Pakistan Railways Headquarters Office, Empress Road, Lahore**. The corrigendum does not restate the bid submission address or delivery procedure, so bidders should follow the original tender notice and bidding documents for sealed submission instructions. A practical tip is to obtain written confirmation of the revised deadline and ensure that the joint-venture authorization, prequalification evidence, bid security, and factory-wise technical plan are complete before submission.
