Internet Connectivity Services & Managed Next Generation Firewall for PRAL HQ Office

Pakistan Revenue Automation Pvt Limited (PRAL) invites sealed bids for the provisioning of Internet Connectivity Services and Managed Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) at its Headquarters office in Islamabad, Federal territory. This is a non-consultancy services tender issued under National Procurement Rules using a Single Stage-Two Envelope bidding process. The scope encompasses high-speed internet connectivity provisioning and deployment of managed next-generation firewall capabilities to enhance network security and performance at the PRAL HQ location. Reference number P-46/2026 covers both service provision and ongoing management requirements.

Bidders must meet specified eligibility criteria including relevant business registration, National Tax Number (NTN) registration, and any applicable industry certifications or accreditation. A Bid Securing Declaration is required from all participants to ensure commitment and prevent frivolous bidding. Bidders are expected to demonstrate past experience in delivering similar connectivity and firewall management services, with submission of completed contracts and average annual turnover documentation forming part of the technical proposal evaluation.

Bid documents are available for download from the issuing office or by contacting the procurement team at Galaxy Business Center, 2nd Floor, Plot 266-B, Street 9, Sector I-9/3, Islamabad. Sealed bids comprising separate Technical and Financial envelopes must be submitted to the same address with a closing deadline of August 17, 2026. Enquiries should be directed to procurement@pral.com.pk or telephone +92-334-531-4503. Bid opening will occur after the closing date, with evaluation proceeding according to the criteria outlined in the bidding document.

PRAL seeks an integrated service provider for internet connectivity and managed firewall at its Islamabad headquarters — a dual-service procurement suggesting medium-scale operations requiring both ISP-grade connectivity and enterprise security appliance management. The Single Stage-Two Envelope format separates technical and financial bids; bidders will be evaluated on experience, past performance, and cost. The closing deadline is tight (August 17, 2026), implying urgency. This appears to be a one-off service engagement rather than a framework contract, though renewal terms are not explicitly stated. Competitors should note the emphasis on completed contract evidence and turnover documentation.

Who can bid: Bidders must hold valid NTN registration and appropriate business registration (SECP or provincial authority). Typically, service providers in this category must demonstrate PEC registration if they employ engineers, or equivalent professional credentials. Previous experience delivering similar services is evaluated; the notice requests evidence of past completed contracts and average annual turnover as eligibility proof.
