The Pakistan Security Printing Corporation (PSPC) in Karachi, Sindh, is procuring a comprehensive QR Coding System for packing ID cards, including the supply, installation, and commissioning services. This turnkey solution aims to enhance traceability across packaging levels, from small boxes containing 500 cards to pallets holding multiple boxes, with labels printed as per GS1 standards. The project scope includes hardware such as industrial standard QR code printers, hand-held terminals, smart racks, barcode printers, readers, sensors, and software fully compatible with PSPC's existing ERP system. The vendor is responsible for all mechanical, electrical, civil, and instrumentation works, including LAN cabling and integration with PSPC's IT infrastructure. The system must ensure IT security with role-based user access and maintain electronic logs. A mandatory two-week hyper care period after deployment is required for support and issue resolution. The warranty period is 12 months covering all hardware, software, and consumables. Bidders must be registered with tax authorities, active taxpayers, and comply with PSPC's Code of Conduct and HSE policies. Experience certificates must be in the bidder's name, and any personnel previously deputed at PSPC in the last five years are barred from participation. The earnest money deposit is fixed at Rs. 47,000, payable via pay order or bank guarantee. Bids must be submitted electronically via EPADS by June 8, 2026, 11:00 AM, with opening at 11:30 AM the same day. The contract delivery schedule is within 90 days of award. Bidders should ensure all pages of the tender document are signed and stamped, and original bid security is received before the deadline. A practical tip for bidders is to carefully review the technical specifications and ensure full compliance with the integration and security requirements to avoid disqualification. Submission through EPADS is mandatory; manual bids will not be accepted. This procurement offers a significant opportunity for suppliers specializing in IT and computer equipment and services to engage with a reputable government entity with clear terms and conditions outlined in the bidding documents.
