Bidders should ensure compliance with PEC registration categories relevant to furniture manufacturing and confirm their FBR Active Taxpayer List (ATL) status for the fiscal year 2025-26. The tender requires earnest money in the form of a Call Deposit Receipt (CDR) or bank guarantee as bid security. This is crucial to avoid disqualification.
