KPUMA seeks a consultant to deliver a full feasibility study for a regional rail project connecting three cities in KP—a substantial, strategically important assignment. The estimated contract value of 38.8 million rupees indicates a medium-to-large scope requiring multidisciplinary expertise in railways, traffic modeling, financial analysis and design. The pre-bid meeting on 29 July 2026 signals imminent tendering; bidders should prepare comprehensive technical capacity statements and relevant case studies in similar urban rail projects. The QCBS method suggests quality and cost are equally weighted; underpricing feasibility work typically leads to scope conflicts later.
Who can bid: Typically, consultancy firms require SECP registration, valid NTN and PEC membership if applicable. The notice does not specify category restrictions but feasibility studies of this scale typically require demonstrated experience in transport infrastructure projects, qualified engineer and economist staff, and compliance with KPPRA conflict-of-interest and integrity pact requirements.
