Procurement of Security Services for PPRA Offices Islamabad

The Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) is procuring Security Services for its offices located at 1st and 2nd Floor of FBC Building, G-5/2, Islamabad. This procurement is specifically for hiring security guards, weapons, and metal detectors to ensure round-the-clock security in three shifts. The scope includes providing physically fit, medically retired armed guards with valid arms licenses and necessary equipment such as torches and metal detectors. The security firm will be responsible for managing leave, replacement of guards, and liaison with police and emergency services. The contract requires the firm to provide 5 security guards, 5 weapons, and 2 metal detectors as per the schedule. Eligibility criteria include a minimum of 5 years experience in security services, valid FBR registration, membership with APSAA, and a minimum annual turnover of PKR 50 million. The firm must have at least 200 security guards on payroll, 250 licensed weapons, and 50 or more metal and explosive detectors. Bids must be submitted online through EPADS v2.0 by Monday, July 20, 2026 at 11:00 AM, with the bid opening at 11:30 AM the same day. The bid security must be submitted in original form to the PPRA office in Islamabad. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure timely registration on EPADS v2.0 and to carefully prepare the Technical Bid with all required documents including EOBI/Social Security registration and valid NOC from Ministry of Interior or Provincial Home Department. This will avoid disqualification and ensure compliance with the tender requirements. The contract price is fixed and payments will be made in Pakistani Rupees against actual invoices. The PPRA reserves the right to inspect the premises and monitor the services provided. Bidders should also be mindful of the liquidated damages clause for any failure in service delivery or data security breaches.
