DEMP seeks a pre-qualified third-party manpower provider to supply contractual staff across multiple categories for the Directorate and Central Monitoring Unit in Islamabad.
The 2.2 million rupee bid security and single-stage two-envelope format indicate a structured, formal procurement. The restricted pre-qualified bidder pool and tight 15-day submission window (11–26 August 2026) suggest urgency. Contract duration and specific personnel requirements are detailed in Annex A; no indication of contract value is provided in the RFP header, suggesting budgetary figures may appear only in the full tender schedule. This is likely a framework or recurring arrangement given the operational support nature.
Who can bid: Only pre-qualified firms registered in Pakistan are eligible; the RFP does not specify PEC, SECP, or NTN registration explicitly, but typically such manpower service providers are required to hold valid business registration, NTN, and GST compliance. Bidders must submit non-blacklisting affidavits and sign integrity pacts. Full mandatory criteria are listed in Section 4.1 of the RFP.
