For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT

PCB is pre-qualifying catering service providers for a 22-month contract spanning October 2026 to July 2028 across multiple venues nationwide.
This is a framework pre-qualification exercise aimed at building a pool of approved contractors rather than a single competitive tender. Scale appears medium to large given the duration and multi-city scope. Key requirement: active FBR registration and taxpayer status are mandatory. Tight submission deadline (26 August 2026) leaves limited preparation time for proposal compilation.
Who can bid: Bidders must be registered with Income Tax and Sales Tax Departments and maintain active taxpayer status. Typically, catering service providers should hold business registration (SECP), valid NTN, and relevant food safety certifications. No specific turnover or PEC equivalent is mentioned; the notice emphasises experience and professional standing rather than financial thresholds.
