A cafeteria and canteen outsourcing contract for a university campus in Lahore.
The contract involves managing food service operations for a campus community; scale appears medium given it is a single campus facility. Key challenge: very tight deadline (closing 24 September 2026), leaving minimal preparation time. Bidders must be tax-registered and demonstrate prior canteen/cafeteria experience. The service-based nature and focus on campus food operations suggests operational efficiency and food safety compliance will be critical evaluation factors.
Who can bid: Bidders must be tax-registered (NTN holders) with relevant experience in cafeteria or canteen service operations. The notice does not specify a minimum business entity form; however, individuals and firms are both mentioned as eligible. Typically, food service contracts require health and safety certifications and proof of prior similar operations.
