Submitted rates will be downloaded and announced on the same day at 12:30 PM in the office of the Commissioner, Dera Ghazi Khan Division, Dera Ghazi Khan, in the presence of participating firms, contractors or their duly authorized representatives holding an attested power of attorney, and the Tender Opening Committee. If a government holiday or another holiday occurs, receipt and opening will take place on the next working day.

A photocopy of the valid PEC licence must be supplied to the office.

Registration and documents: Bidders must register at https://ep.punjab.gov.pk. Registration procedures are available at https://ppra.punjab.gov.pk under e-Procurement. Detailed requirements, terms and conditions are available to registered bidders through the e-Procurement system and the Punjab PPRA website. Tender documents must be signed, attested and submitted electronically by the prescribed deadline. Manual bids will not be accepted. Every page of the DNIT/bid must be signed and stamped by the contractor, and all contractors' claims must be submitted electronically.

Bid security: The 5% bid security must be submitted electronically through the Punjab e-Procurement System in the prescribed manner. Physical financial instruments, including Call Deposit Receipts, will not be accepted. Only electronic bid security will be treated as valid under Punjab PPRA rules. The system will not permit bid submission until the required PSID has been generated and the prescribed security submitted. Under Circular No. SO (I&C-I)S-4/2024, dated 19 May 2026, and subsequent Punjab e-Procurement instructions, bid security and bid documents must be submitted digitally; manual, physical or banking instruments will not be accepted.

Performance guarantee: Under Clause 56 of the PPRA Rules, 2014, the lowest evaluated bidder must provide an e-Procurement-system-generated performance guarantee equal to 5% of the contract amount within 15 days of receiving the offer letter. It must be in favour of the Executive Engineer, Buildings Division Muzaffargarh, through 1-Link bank transfer or an e-bank guarantee valid for three months beyond completion or the extended completion period.

Rate quotation and evaluation: Under Punjab PPRA Circular No. L&M (PPRA)10-1/2011/008595, dated 11 October 2024, bidders must quote the rate and total amount for every item, together with the grand total. Financial bids without these figures will be treated as incomplete and excluded from financial evaluation. Percentage rates above or below the approved cost will not be accepted. Rates must be entered against the departmental DNIT/bid uploaded through the system rather than through another unauthenticated method. Only item rates will be accepted, not an overall rate. Quantity units are taken from MRS; incorrect units quoted by a contractor or the authority will be adjusted when preparing the comparative statement.

Other conditions: Submission of false information or documents, including CDRs, receipts or PEC documentation, will result in disqualification and blacklisting from C&W Department tendering. Recommendations will also be sent to PPRA and PEC for appropriate action or blacklisting. The procuring agency may reject all bids or proposals before acceptance under Clause 35 of the PPRA Rules. Recovery against credit for old material will be adjusted manually, and bids evaluated accordingly. Response time will be calculated exclusively from the publication date on the PPRA website at https://eproc.punjab.gov.pk/ViewTenders.aspx.
