Tender Details
Description / Scope of Work
Pakistan Reinsurance Company Limited, under the Ministry of Commerce, invites expressions of interest for prequalification of law firms to provide consultancy services. This is a national-level procurement through a single-stage, one-envelope process. The prequalification exercise aims to establish a roster of qualified consulting firms that will subsequently be invited to submit detailed proposals through a formal Request for Proposals process. Only firms that successfully complete the prequalification stage will be eligible to participate in the RFP stage and compete for contract award. The procurement references P80965 and is funded from the FY 2026-27 budget allocation. Interested law firms and consulting organisations should review the full prequalification documents available on the electronic procurement platform to understand the scope of required legal and consultancy services. The process is open to qualified national applicants meeting the specified eligibility and qualification criteria outlined in the prequalification data sheet.
Eligibility criteria require applicants to be registered consulting firms or law practices with demonstrated experience in relevant legal and consultancy fields. Applicants must possess valid business registration from SECP or equivalent regulatory authority, current tax registration with FBR, and documented professional credentials. Typically, firms must demonstrate at least three to five years of relevant experience in similar consultancy engagements, possess qualified professional staff, and maintain current professional liability insurance. The prequalification documents specify minimum qualification requirements including technical capacity, financial standing, and compliance with applicable procurement regulations.
Complete prequalification documents are accessible through EPADS v2.0 at https://epads.gov.pk/opportunities/federal/procurements/80965. Applications must be submitted electronically through EPADS v2.0 on or before Monday, September 28, 2026 at 11:00 AM. Electronic opening of submitted applications will occur the same day at 11:30 AM. Manual submission of applications will not be accepted.

For Bidders: Our Analysis PAKISTANTENDER INSIGHT

This is a prequalification-only tender, not a direct award opportunity.
Law firms seeking to bid for PRCL consultancy work must first pass prequalification screening to join the approved roster. The closing date of September 28, 2026 is imminent, allowing limited preparation time. Successful prequalification typically requires strong professional credentials, three-plus years' proven experience, and robust compliance documentation. The subsequent RFP stage will determine actual contract winners and scope details, so passing this initial gate is prerequisite but does not guarantee contract award. Firms should ensure all registration, tax, and professional certifications are current before submission.
Who can bid: Applicants must be registered law firms or consulting organisations with SECP registration and current FBR tax status. Typically, firms require minimum three to five years' experience in similar consultancy engagements, qualified professional staff, professional liability insurance, and demonstrated financial stability. Only national applicants are eligible. Specific minimum qualification thresholds are detailed in the prequalification data sheet.
