The Privatisation Commission seeks a Financial Adviser for privatising two major DISCOs (LESCO and MEPC) in Punjab.
This is a high-profile energy sector transaction requiring deep expertise in privatisation structuring, valuation, and regulatory navigation. The engagement appears medium to large in scope and complexity. Processing fee requirement (USD 1,000 non-refundable) signals serious bidders only.

Who can bid: Typically, Financial Advisers must be registered body corporates or firms with proven track record in major transaction advisory and privatisation work. International firms and domestic consulting firms with relevant SECP registration are typically eligible. The notice requires submission via formal banking channels, indicating expectation of established, professionally managed entities. Consortium participation is permitted with a single designated lead.
