Supply and Installation of Desktop Computers and Laptops

Sukkur IBA University, located in Sukkur, Sindh, is procuring a comprehensive range of desktop computers and laptops to enhance its IT infrastructure across multiple campuses including Mirpur Khas and Ghotki. This procurement includes various models such as Dell or equivalent Intel Core i7 14th generation desktops with 16 GB DDR5 RAM and 512 GB SSD, high-performance Core i9 desktops with advanced graphics cards, and HP EliteBook 860 notebooks with Core Ultra 7 processors and 32 GB RAM. The scope covers supply, installation, and warranty services with a standard OEM warranty of 36 months. The delivery locations are specified as Sukkur IBA University and its associated campuses. Eligible bidders must comply with Sindh Public Procurement Rules 2010 (amended), possess valid FBR/ATL registration, and demonstrate at least three years of relevant experience. PEC certification is not explicitly required but bidders must be manufacturers, authorized distributors, or dealers of the quoted products. Bid security of 2% of the estimated cost is mandatory, and bids must be submitted electronically through EPADS by the specified deadline. The technical bid should strictly adhere to the specifications without using ambiguous terms like 'or equivalent' unless clearly justified. The tender emphasizes the importance of submitting complete bidding documents, including signed and stamped forms, bid security, and affidavits confirming no blacklisting. The deadline for bid submission is fixed, and late or manual bids will not be accepted. The successful bidder will be required to provide performance security and comply with inspection and delivery schedules. Payment will be made upon 100% delivery and issuance of an inspection certificate. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure all bid documents are thoroughly checked for completeness and accuracy before submission, as incomplete or conditional bids will be rejected outright. Also, attaching the original bid security pay order to the financial proposal via EPADS and sending the original to the university before the deadline is crucial to avoid disqualification. This tender offers a significant opportunity for IT suppliers to engage with a reputable educational institution with a clear and structured procurement process.
