Financial bids: Under PPRA Circular No. L&M(PPRA)10-1/2011-008595 dated 11 October 2024, bidders must quote rates against every entry or item in the DNIT/BOQ rather than quoting a percentage.

Performance guarantee: The successful bidder must furnish a performance guarantee equal to 10% of the contract amount through the prescribed online/digital EPADS mechanism within the stipulated period. The guarantee must be linked to the respective contract and electronically verifiable. Failure to furnish it within the prescribed period will result in the award or contract being dealt with under the applicable PPRA Rules and bidding documents. The 10% performance security will be returned only after three months following successful completion of the project within the stipulated or duly extended period.

Compliance and complaints: False information or a fake CDR may result in disqualification under PPRA Rules and ineligibility to participate in upcoming tenders of the Punjab Communication and Works Department. Such cases will also be forwarded to the Federal PPRA for initiation of strict legal action. The Grievance Redressal Committee, constituted by the Government of Punjab Communication and Works Department through Notification No. SO(B-I)(C&W)3-16/2017-18 dated 31 July 2024, will address bidders' procurement complaints under PPRA Rules.
