For compliance, bidders should ensure their PEC registration aligns with the required category for goods supply and maintain an active FBR ATL status for the fiscal year 2025-26. This is crucial to avoid disqualification during the technical evaluation phase. The tender fee is waived, but strict adherence to documentation and bid security submission is essential.
