Procurement of Software Licenses for QATPL

This corrigendum relates to the procurement of software licenses by **Quaid-e-Azam Thermal Power (Pvt) Limited (QATPL)**. It amends the bid-security requirement in the previously published tender notice and bidding documents. The original tender was published on **3 August 2026** through the PPRA Punjab website and the Punjab e-Procurement System. The notice does not provide the underlying software product names, license quantities, technical specifications, license duration, or delivery schedule; bidders should therefore obtain and review the complete bidding documents before preparing an offer. Mandatory lot and financial-security list: **Lot-1: PKR 50,000 bid security**; **Lot-2: PKR 12,000 bid security**; total bid security: **PKR 62,000**. Specific item list not provided in the notice. The corrected requirement states that all e-bids must be accompanied by bid security for the relevant lot or lots, within five percent of the estimated amount. Acceptable instruments are a CDR, bank guarantee, demand draft, or pay order. The financial instrument must be received through the e-Procurement System or the Bank of Punjab, and the bid-security evidence must be attached with the technical bid in PDF format. Bidders should confirm their eligibility, registration, active tax status including ATL position, software authorization or licensing credentials, relevant experience, and compliance with all technical and commercial requirements in the original bidding document. The corrigendum forms an integral part of that document, while all other previously published terms and conditions remain unchanged. The submission deadline is **10 August 2026 at 11:59 PM**, inferred under the applicable extraction rule because no closing date appears in the corrigendum. E-bids should be submitted through the Punjab e-Procurement System at **https://ep.punjab.gov.pk**. The issuing office is at **First Floor, 7-C-1, Gulberg III, Lahore**. Practical tip: bidders should upload the corrected lot-wise security documents early and verify that each PDF is legible, properly named, and linked to the correct technical submission.
