The procurement follows a Single Stage-Two Envelope procedure requiring separate technical and financial bids. Interested companies must have valid NTN/GST registration, relevant experience, and a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Ministry of Interior and provincial Home Departments including Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan. Blacklisted companies or those with poor performance records are ineligible.

Failure to provide accurate information or incomplete documentation may lead to disqualification. Firms are also advised to register on the EPADS portal immediately as manual bids will be phased out in future procurements.
