The Public Health Engineering Department, Bannu, is overseeing the project which includes drilling boreholes, pavement of streets, construction of drains, and PCC retaining walls. The works are critical for improving sanitation and water supply infrastructure in the region, requiring quality materials and skilled workmanship to meet engineering standards in Bannu's terrain.

The tender demands careful financial planning as contractors quoting rates up to 10% below the engineer's estimate must submit 2% bid security, while those quoting 10-20% below must provide an additional 8% security. For bids exceeding 20% below estimate, detailed rate analysis and proportional additional security are mandatory to avoid disqualification. This ensures financial stability and project feasibility. Contractors should ensure their PEC registration and FBR/ATL status are current for the 2025-26 financial year to remain eligible. The tender fee must be submitted as a non-refundable Call Deposit Receipt (CDR). Bids will be opened on the same day of submission, and any public holiday will shift deadlines to the next working day.

Interested firms should download the BOQ and tender documents from www.phedkp.gov.pk and submit their bids electronically as per the E-PADS system. Pro-Tip: Carefully review the bid security requirements and prepare detailed rate analysis if bidding below 20% of the engineer's estimate to avoid disqualification. Also, verify the tender fee submission as missing CDR leads to non-responsiveness.
