Tender Details
Description / Scope of Work
Karandaaz Pakistan, a not-for-profit company registered under Section 42 of the Companies Act 2017, has issued a Request for Expression of Interest for Digital and Financial Capability Training for BISP Beneficiaries under the Karandaaz Digital Supporting G2P Digitization in Pakistan programme. This is a nationwide, Federal-level assignment with an indicative duration of 18 to 24 months, aimed at designing and implementing a blended physical and digital training program to build digital and financial capability of approximately one million Benazir Income Support Programme beneficiaries transitioning to Raast-enabled account-based disbursements.
Eligible applicants include firms, or consortiums and joint ventures, with demonstrated experience in financial and digital literacy programs for low-literacy and marginalized populations, particularly women, along with capability in blended curriculum development, digital channel deployment such as IVR, SMS and short-form video, project management, M&E, and geographic delivery capacity across urban, peri-urban and remote rural Pakistan. Consortium applications must clearly define roles and coordination mechanisms among members.
Interested firms must submit a cover letter, entity profile with registration documents, at least two comparable project references, CVs of key personnel, a short concept note of maximum 2-3 pages, and evidence of financial standing, addressed to the Procurement Department. Queries can be sent to procurement@karandaaz.com.pk by 27 July 2026, with responses issued by 29 July 2026. The last date for submission of the EOI is 10 August 2026, after which shortlisted firms will be invited to submit detailed Technical and Financial Proposals through a subsequent RFP.
For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
This is a large-scale, donor-linked capacity building program covering roughly one million BISP beneficiaries nationwide, likely a multi-million dollar assignment given its 18-24 month phased rollout and requirement for national field infrastructure. Firms without existing rural outreach networks, gender-focused training experience, and DFS/digital channel expertise (IVR, SMS, video) will struggle to qualify. The two-stage EOI-then-RFP process means this stage is a shortlisting filter, not final bidding, so early positioning and strong references matter more than pricing at this point.
Who can bid: Firms or consortiums/joint ventures with proven financial and digital literacy training experience for low-literacy, women-centric or social safety net populations are eligible; consortiums must define member roles clearly. The notice does not specify PEC, SECP or NTN registration explicitly, but typically SECP/partnership registration and NTN are required for such institutional procurement in Pakistan.
