For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
GIKI seeks an experienced cafeteria operator for a large educational institution in Swabi on rental basis.
This is a recurring service contract (implicit multi-year arrangement typical of institutional food services) requiring demonstrated capability at university-scale operations. The institute has pre-bid site inspection slots (July 22-23) suggesting they expect serious, capable bidders to assess operational feasibility before bidding. Five-year experience floor filters out startups; financial soundness requirement indicates concern about operational continuity.
Who can bid: Must be established, financially sound firm with ≥5 years cafeteria/food service experience at large educational institutions. FBR registration for Sales Tax and Active Taxpayer List (ATL) listing mandatory. Typically also requires NTN, valid business registration (SECP if pvt. limited), and clean tax compliance record. No PEC category applicable (non-construction).
