Bidders are required to submit comprehensive documentation demonstrating their experience, expertise, track record, financial stability, and capacity to deliver services in their chosen category or categories. Typical requirements include evidence of past project delivery, client references, team composition, financial credentials, and compliance with applicable regulations.
Interested agencies must submit their applications by 22nd September 2026. The detailed pre-qualification criteria, required documentation, submission procedures, and evaluation methodology are provided in the attached Expression of Interest document (EOI-28). Applicants are advised to carefully review all requirements and prepare applications addressing each criterion.

For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT
Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
Karandaaz Pakistan seeks to empanel marketing, creative, event, and production agencies across five service categories for ongoing communications and outreach support.
This is a pre-qualification exercise leading to a panel of approved vendors rather than a single contract award, suggesting recurring, project-based engagement opportunities. The deadline is tight at 15 days. Bidders should demonstrate relevant experience with development finance, financial inclusion, or MSME promotion sectors if possible, though not explicitly mandated. The organisation's multi-vertical structure (Capital, Digital, Innovation, Research) implies diverse creative needs.
Who can bid: The notice does not explicitly state registration or licensing requirements. Typically, agencies bidding for marketing and creative services are expected to be registered business entities with relevant tax registration (NTN) and applicable trade credentials. Bidders applying for event and production services may require additional regulatory clearances. Review the attached EOI document for specific eligibility criteria.
