For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
This is a framework contract for catering and venue services across 450 mass marriage events serving 9,900 people, valued at Rs 31.68 million for FY 2026-27.
The per-person rate of Rs 3,200 suggests modest-scale ceremony logistics covering venue hire and food service. As a multi-event framework contract, successful bidders face recurring operational demands over the full financial year rather than a single event. Bidders should verify their registered tax status and capacity to mobilize for numerous events potentially spread across Gujranwala Division.
Who can bid: Bidders must be firms or companies registered with Income Tax, Sales Tax, and Punjab Sales Tax authorities. Typically, registration with SECP (if a limited company) or business registration with the relevant district authority is also expected. No specific PEC category applies as this is a services contract rather than construction. The notice does not state whether sole proprietorships or partnerships are eligible, though the reference to 'firms/companies' suggests formal business registration is required.
