An accredited ISO certification body is required to deliver management system certification services for a provincial air quality monitoring programme.
This is a specialized technical service contract requiring current ISO/IEC 17021 accreditation and demonstrable experience certifying integrated management systems in the environmental sector. The assignment appears to encompass initial audit, gap analysis, and formal certification issuance for a new government scheme, likely a medium-scale, time-bound engagement rather than an ongoing framework. Accredited firms with regional offices and environmental auditing experience will have competitive advantage; smaller local certification consultancies without international accreditation are unlikely to qualify.
Who can bid: Bidders must hold current accreditation from a recognized accreditation body (PAB, UKAS, or equivalent) for ISO/IEC 17021 certification body competence. SECP or PKR registration and valid tax registration (NTN) are typically required. The certification body must demonstrate freedom from conflict of interest with the air quality monitoring scheme stakeholders and possess a qualified auditor team meeting international competency standards for IMS certification.
