The Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training invites Expressions of Interest for prequalification of experienced, competent and financially sound consulting firms to establish a panel for undertaking independent Third-Party Evaluation and Validation (TPE/V) of education-sector programmes, projects, institutions, policies, funding mechanisms and development initiatives financed by the Federal Government and its attached departments, autonomous bodies, universities, schools, colleges and special initiatives across Pakistan. The prequalification is organised into six Lots based on the nature of development projects and programmes reflected in the PSDP 2026-27 portfolio, with each Lot corresponding to a distinct field of evaluation expertise and coherent area of professional practice. Applicants may apply for one, several or all Lots for which they meet the applicable criteria, with prequalification remaining valid for three years.
Eligible consulting firms must meet general mandatory criteria applicable to all Lots and lot-wise specific mandatory and qualification criteria. The prequalification does not constitute an award of any contract nor any commitment to invite proposals or award assignments. Prequalified firms shall be engaged on a lot-wise basis in phases and as required through subsequent task-based Requests for Proposal, Requests for Quotation or framework agreements in accordance with PPRA Rules and Regulations, with financial proposals invited only at the task-assignment stage.
The prequalification document is available free of cost from the Ministry's website, PPRA's website at www.ppra.org.pk and the Electronic Pakistan Acquisition and Disposal System (e-PADS).

Panel prequalification for independent third-party evaluation services across six specialized lots covering federal education sector projects (PSDP 2026-27 portfolio).
This is a standing panel arrangement valid three years; firms compete for individual task assignments post-prequalification, not upfront contract awards. Scale appears large given multi-departmental scope and three-year validity. Notable: financial bids submitted only at task stage, not now; applicants can pursue single or multiple lots matching their expertise. Tight August 2026 deadline suggests imminent deployment.
Who can bid: Consulting firms must be registered (SECP/PEC as applicable), financially sound, and experienced in sector evaluation. Typically requires NTN, valid registration, audited accounts, and relevant project track record. General mandatory criteria apply across all lots; lot-specific criteria also mandated. No restrictions stated beyond qualification thresholds. Foreign firms likely eligible unless specifically excluded in detailed prequalification document.
