The Communication and Works Department of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa invites electronic bids from eligible firms and contractors for the strengthening of 12 District Headquarters Hospitals to enhance their capacity to respond to COVID-19 and any future pandemics. This procurement is specifically for hospitals located in Swat and other districts within Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The project involves civil works to improve building capacity and infrastructure as per detailed bidding documents. Eligible bidders must be registered with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority (KPPRA) and Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) in the relevant category of specialization, with proven financial soundness, relevant experience, and required equipment. The bidding process follows the Single Stage Two Envelope procedure, with technical and financial bids to be submitted electronically via the E-PAD system. The deadline for submission is **17th June 2026 at 12:00 PM**, with technical bids opening the same day at 12:30 PM. Financial bids will be opened later after technical evaluation. Earnest Money in the form of bid security at 2% of the engineering estimate is mandatory. The tender documents and instructions can be obtained from the office of the Executive Engineer C&W Mega Projects Division Swat. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure that all required bid securities, including additional securities for bids quoting more than 10% below the engineering estimate, are properly submitted to avoid disqualification. Also, bidders should carefully prepare detailed rate analysis if bidding below 20% to meet the tender requirements and avoid being declared non-responsive.
