The Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO) (Material Management Directorate) based in Islamabad Capital Territory is procuring 11 KV Steel Cross Arms with Braces for delivery primarily to IESCO Regional Stores in Rawalpindi and Rajjar (Jhelum). This procurement is planned for the financial year 2025-26 with a focus on supplying 13,500 units within specified delivery schedules. The technical scope requires compliance with NTDC Specification DDS-13:2009 (amended to date), ensuring the steel cross arms and braces meet stringent quality and durability standards suitable for electrical infrastructure. Bidders must be registered with FBR, possess relevant PEC categories, and demonstrate prior experience supplying similar products to NTDC, WAPDA, DISCOs, GENCOs, or government departments within the last two years. Manufacturing experience of at least two years and contractual supply experience of one year are mandatory. The tender mandates submission of earnest money in the form of Call Deposit or Bank Guarantee and requires bidders to submit a comprehensive technical bid including declarations on material quality, no use of scrap, and conformity to specifications. The bid submission deadline is Tuesday, June 2, 2026, at 10:30 AM via the EPADS v2.0 e-bidding platform, with bid opening at 11:00 AM the same day. Manual submissions are not accepted. The procuring agency advises bidders to register early on EPADS and carefully prepare their bids to avoid disqualification. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure timely submission of the original bid security physically at IESCO Headquarters before the deadline, as failure to do so results in immediate disqualification. This tender offers a significant opportunity for suppliers specializing in electrical infrastructure components to engage with a major utility company under clear procurement rules and timelines.
