This tender is specifically for firms, companies, or service providers who are eligible and registered under the National Competitive Bidding process. The procurement is managed through the E-Pak Acquisition and Disposal System (EPADS), ensuring a transparent and electronic submission process. The scope includes supplying various promotional items as required by the KPCTA. Bidders must be registered with recognized professional bodies including FBR (NTN & KPRA/STRN) and if a company, must have a valid SECP certificate. Active status on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL) is mandatory. The tender follows a Single Stage-One Envelope procedure as per Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Procurement Regulatory Authority Rules, 2014. Key dates include the bid submission deadline on 18th June 2026 at 11:00 am, with bid opening at 11:30 am the same day. Bidders must submit their bids electronically via EPADS only; no hard copies are accepted. A Call Deposit Receipt (CDR) equal to 2% of the quoted amount is required as bid security, payable to the KPCTA Fund Account. The original CDR must be submitted to the KPCTA office by the deadline, while a scanned copy is uploaded on EPADS. Bidding documents can be obtained from the KPCTA office during working hours upon payment of a non-refundable fee of Rs. 1,000 or downloaded free from EPADS, KPPRA, and KPCTA websites. Submission of samples on the day of bid opening is mandatory; failure to do so will result in disqualification. Only financial bids of bidders with approved samples will be considered. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure timely electronic submission and prepare samples carefully, as late submissions or missing samples will lead to disqualification.
