For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
Single Investment Support Consultant position for a German-funded startup acceleration initiative operating across Pakistan, with base in Gilgit.
Role spans portfolio management, due diligence, business mentoring, and technical assistance across education, health, tourism, and green sectors. This is a specialized knowledge-based engagement requiring investment expertise and SME development background—not a traditional construction/supply contract. The 18-month runway to closure (July 2026) suggests moderate competition from finance professionals rather than typical tender participants. Emphasis on new geographies indicates geographic diversification strategy rather than established market consolidation.
Who can bid: Applicants must hold bachelor's degree in finance/accounting/business; three years minimum hands-on investment/advisory experience; professional certifications (ACCA, CFA, FMVA) preferred. Fluency in English and Urdu mandatory. No PEC category applicable (consultancy, not construction). Typically, Pakistani applicants require valid NTN/SECP registration if operating as sole proprietor; foreign nationals may be restricted depending on visa/work authorization policy (not stated). No registration body specified.
