IT Training Services for Excellence Centers by AJ&K Information Technology Board

The Azad Government Information Technology Board invites sealed bids from well-reputed IT firms, companies and vendors for the provision of training program services under the project titled Establishment of IT Excellence Centers at Bhimber, Neelum and Bagh in AJ&K. The project aims to establish IT excellence centers across three locations in the region, requiring comprehensive training services to support the centers' operational and developmental goals. This is a service-based procurement for specialized IT training delivery. Bidding documents can be obtained by submitting a written application along with company head representation and required documentary proof including three years of audit reports, non-blacklist affidavit, valid NTN certificate, three years of tax returns, authorized partnership or dealership documentation, and payment of a non-refundable fee of PKR 5,000 only up to August 10, 2026 from the office of the Director General at Block C, New District Complex, Muzaffarabad.

Bidders must be well-reputed IT firms registered and compliant with AJ&K regulatory requirements. Eligible firms must submit an earnest money bid security of PKR 4,500,000. The procurement follows a Single Stage Two Envelope Procedure as per AJ&K PPRA Rules. Bids must be complete in all respects with full technical details to be considered for evaluation. All general terms and conditions specified in AJ&K Public Procurement Regulatory Authority Rules shall apply to this tender.

Complete sealed bids must be received at Block C, New District Complex, Muzaffarabad on or before August 10, 2026 at 12:00 PM, with opening scheduled for the same day at 12:30 PM in the presence of bidders or their authorized representatives.

This is a service procurement for IT training delivery across three centers in AJ&K, requiring earnest money of PKR 4.5 million—indicating substantial scope. The tight deadline (August 10, 2026) and emphasis on three years of audited financials, NTN and tax compliance suggest the authority expects financially stable, established vendors. The project is location-specific (Bhimber, Neelum, Bagh) so local or region-familiar firms may have advantage. No contract duration is specified, making it unclear whether this is recurring or one-off training delivery.

Who can bid: Bidders must be well-reputed IT firms with valid NTN registration and three years of audited accounts. Non-blacklist affidavit and three-year tax returns required. Typically, vendors in IT training services must hold relevant certifications or partnerships from technology vendors. AJ&K PPRA rules will govern final eligibility determination.
