This is a large-scale prequalification for FMD vaccine supply across Punjab over one financial year, with estimated value exceeding Rs 1.7 billion. The procurement spans three parallel schemes, suggesting steady demand and repeat supply potential. Bidders must be registered importers, manufacturers or authorized distributors with proven vaccine experience. The compressed timeline (submission by 10 August 2026) and mandatory e-procurement registration via PPRA portal demand immediate compliance capability. Only pre-qualified vendors will advance to actual bidding, making qualification essential.

Who can bid: Applicants must be importers, manufacturers or authorized sole distributors of purified FMD vaccine registered in Pakistan. Firms must be well-reputed, financially sound, and registered with Income Tax and Sales Tax authorities. PPRA registration for e-procurement on EGP is mandatory. Typically, vaccine suppliers are also required to hold relevant regulatory approvals from the Ministry of National Food Security and livestock authorities.
