The Pakistan Security Printing Corporation (Pvt.) Ltd in Karachi is procuring four specialized testing instruments for its Printing Industry Lab as per the Bill of Quantities (BOQ). The equipment includes a Peel Strength Tool Kit, Opacity Tester, Light Transmittance Meter, and Bending Stiffness Tester. These instruments are essential for quality control and testing of ID cards and related materials, ensuring compliance with international standards such as ISO and ASTM. The technical scope covers delivery, installation, commissioning, and operational acceptance of the equipment at PSPC's site. The supplier must provide calibration certificates valid for 12 months, calibration tools, and documented procedures traceable to national or international standards. Training for PSPC staff on operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance will be provided on-site or online, along with comprehensive user manuals and documentation. Eligibility criteria require bidders to be reputed manufacturers or suppliers with OEM authorization certificates, active tax registration, and compliance with PSPC's Code of Conduct and HSE policies. Bidders must not be blacklisted or under any declaration of ineligibility. The procurement follows the Single Stage One Envelope Procedure with a fixed bid security of PKR 120,000. The submission deadline is Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at 11:00 AM via the Electronic Procurement and Disposal System (EPADS). Bidders should ensure all pages of the tender document are signed and stamped, and the original bid security is delivered before the deadline. The Purchase Department at PSPC, Jinnah Avenue, Malir Halt, Karachi, is the contact point for submissions and queries. A practical tip for bidders is to carefully review the BOQ and technical specifications to ensure full compliance and provide clear details of materials and specifications. Early preparation of bid security and timely submission through EPADS will avoid disqualification. Ensuring readiness for installation and commissioning within 30 days post-delivery is critical for contract fulfillment.
