PEC category requirements apply as per the bidding documents. The bid submission deadline is Monday, June 8, 2026, at 12:45 PM via EPADS v2.0, with bid opening at 1:15 PM the same day. Manual submissions are not accepted. The bid security must be submitted physically to HAZECO HQ before the deadline. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure timely registration on EPADS v2.0 and to carefully prepare the technical bid including all required documents such as authority letters, no deviation certificates, and integrity pacts to avoid disqualification.

This is a valuable opportunity for suppliers specializing in electrical maintenance equipment to engage with a reputable power distribution company in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
