The projects require quality materials and adherence to technical specifications to ensure durability and efficiency. Bidders must hold valid PEC registration for the fiscal year 2025-26 and comply with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (KPPRA) rules. Submission of a valid FBR registration and updated audit reports is mandatory.

Pro-Tip: Carefully review the KPPRA notification and ensure all bid security and affidavit requirements are met to avoid disqualification.
