Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
PSO is seeking pre-qualified operators for three distinct retail service verticals—fuel stations, convenience stores, and tyre shops—at multiple locations nationwide.
This is a pre-qualification phase, not yet a detailed tender, suggesting a sizeable rollout program across the PSO retail network. The tight eight-day submission window (19–03 Sept 2026) and exclusive e-bidding via SAP Ariba indicate a formal, structured procurement process. Bidders must already be registered on Ariba and demonstrate proven operational competence in their chosen category. Timeline and geographic spread imply significant anticipated contract value and multi-year operational commitment.
Who can bid: Eligible parties must possess adequate past relevant experience in service station, C-store, or tyre shop operations as applicable, and demonstrate sound financial capability. Vendors must register on the SAP Ariba Platform. The notice does not specify PEC category, SECP registration, or NTN requirements in detail; typically, such operational service contracts require valid business registration, tax compliance, and relevant sectoral experience verification.
