The Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) through its Resident Engineer (O&M) at Allai Khwar Power Station in Battagram, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is procuring electrical transformers to support the power infrastructure at the Allai Weir site and the residential camp of the power station. This procurement includes one 1000 KVA Isolation Transformer, one 250 KVA Station Service Transformer for 132/220 KV Allai Switchyard, and three 200 KVA Distribution Transformers. The transformers are critical for ensuring reliable power distribution and station service operations. The technical scope involves supply and installation of high-quality transformers suitable for the specified voltage levels and site conditions at the Allai Khwar Power Station. The procurement is conducted on a firm cost and supply basis with a completion timeline of 120 days from the issuance of the purchase order. Bidders must be registered with the Income Tax and Sales Tax Departments and appear on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL) of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). Experience in supplying similar electrical equipment and valid PEC registration for electrical works will be advantageous. The tender documents are available electronically on the EPADS portal (www.eprocure.gov.pk). Bidders must submit their bids electronically via EPADS along with the required earnest money in the form of CDR, Demand Draft, or Pay Order amounting to Rs. 700,000 in favor of A.K. Hydel Power. The bid closing date is set for 22nd July 2026 by 11:00 AM, with bid opening at 11:30 AM on the same day at the Resident Engineer’s office. The submission deadline is strict, and late bids will not be accepted. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure that the bid security is physically delivered to the Resident Engineer’s office before the bid closing date, as electronic submission alone is insufficient. This avoids disqualification due to non-compliance with bid security requirements. Attention to detail in the technical and financial bids, along with timely submission, will enhance the chances of success in this competitive tender.
