This procurement includes a range of IT hardware such as manageable 24-port network switches with POE support, network attached storage devices with multiple hard drives, laptops with high specifications, all-in-one PCs, refurbished PCs with accessories, backup power sources including solar/UPS/generator options, and scanners. The scope covers supply of these items as per detailed specifications available on the official PPRA and NAB websites. Interested firms must be registered with the Income Tax and Sales Tax departments and appear on the Active Taxpayers List. They should have valid NTN and GST numbers and maintain business centers or stock in accessible locations. A refundable earnest money call deposit of 3% of the total bid price is required, which will be retained during the warranty period. Substandard items will lead to forfeiture of the call deposit and blacklisting of the firm. The procurement will follow the single stage one envelope procedure under PPRA rules 2004.

The technical and financial bids will be opened on the same day at 11:30 AM in the presence of bidders or their representatives at NAB Multan office. The tender finalization is subject to approval by the Austerity Committee. Firms are advised to carefully prepare their bids, ensuring all required documents and earnest money are included to avoid disqualification. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure their e-PADS registration is active and all vendor and GST numbers are clearly mentioned in the bid. This will facilitate smooth evaluation and reduce chances of rejection due to incomplete documentation.
