The Office of the District Council Multan invites electronic bids from contractors and firms registered with PPRA for e-procurement and with the Pakistan Engineering Council in the relevant categories and codes for the financial year 2026–27.

Registration information and procedures are available at ppra.punjab.gov.pk/e-procurement. Interested bidders may download the approved DNITs and bidding documents through the Punjab E-Procurement System and upload their bids after quoting the rates for the work items. Manual bids will not be accepted.

Bid preparation requirements: Under PPRA circular No. L&M(PPRA)10-1/2011/008595, dated 11 November 2024, bidders must quote rates against every item in the DNIT or bill of quantities instead of using percentage rates.

Incomplete financial bids, including blank DNITs, BOQs, entries, rate-analysis pages, summaries or sub-summaries, will be declared non-responsive and excluded from the competition for determination of the lowest evaluated bidder.

Every page of the uploaded DNIT and bid has been approved by the competent authority.

Bids using rates against a DNIT or bill of quantities other than the approved departmental documents will be rejected as non-responsive.

Electronic bids or proposals containing corrupt, unreadable or virus-infected records will be rejected under Gazette notification No. MD(PPRA)50-BOM/2024/001872, dated 6 March 2024, clause 8(4) of the PPRA Regulation, 2024. Self-generated, unapproved bids will not be accepted.

Otherwise, the entire earnest money will be forfeited to the government. In accordance with the direction of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, performance guarantees up to 10%, where required, will be accepted as a CDR, pay order, bank draft or bank guarantee valid beyond the time limit by three months. Guarantees issued by insurance companies will not be accepted.

The procuring agency may reject all bids or proposals at any time before acceptance under PPRA Rule 35, concerning rejection of bids. All amendments and notifications of PPRA and the Finance Department will apply to the bidding documents.
