DRAP is seeking rental vehicle services with drivers across five major Pakistani cities for regulatory field work.
This is a non-consultancy services contract under single-stage competitive bidding using least-cost selection. The multi-city scope suggests moderate contract value with ongoing operational requirements. Bidders must be EPADS-registered; the tight 11-day submission window from document release to closing indicates urgent need. No pre-bid meeting or site inspection mentioned. Success likely depends on fleet availability, driver quality certifications, and pricing competitiveness across dispersed regional operations.

Typically, vehicle rental service providers require provincial transport authority permits, valid business registration (SECP/NTN), active company status, insurance coverage for fleet, and qualified drivers with professional licenses.
