A single-envelope two-stage catering contract for Multan Cantt railway station restaurant. Scope includes food and beverage operations, fast foods, handicrafts, and auxiliary services. The tender follows standard PPRA procurement rules with prequalification and open auction stages. This appears to be a recurring operational contract rather than capital-intensive work, suitable for established hospitality SMEs with prior restaurant or catering experience and current tax registration. The tight deadline (closing 08.08.2026) means immediate document procurement and submission preparation are critical.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered filers (NTN holders) with Pakistan's tax authority. Typically, catering and restaurant operations require no specific construction license, but bidders should have valid business registration, sales tax compliance, and demonstrated experience in food service operations.
